The Crow's Cryptogram

The old crow is on the watch. SEe and COMe...

Never forget the town we loved
A town betrayed by strangers
Not once or twice but three times
To unveil the truth and smell of grief
We found in sacred soil

Published in 2010, a cipher so strong. The text is in English, encrypted with nothing more than pencil, paper and a secret keyphrase. The accompanied text is not used in any way to encrypt the message and only a hint to the cryptogram's secret key. There are 600 digits in 120 five-digit groups, a complex statistical gem. Ask the crow for a hint.
