Maid Of The River Lyrics - Zeitgeist - Levellers

She's the maid of the river 

So beautiful plain 

As fresh as the country 

That gave her her name 

As crips as the snow 

And as swift as the rain 

he shone like the sun 

Before all of our games 

She shone like a jewel 

But her price was not gold 

She cired more than most 

When her story was told 

But her people were evil 

Left her baron and cold 

And her heart went to market 

Where her body was sold 

I said : 'Hey, hey won't you take me away 

Cos I can't see the point In the dawn of the day 

So many killers gonna take you away 

They'll leave nothing left except hatred' 

She's the goddess of love 

The goddess in green 

The goddess of all 

That I've ever seen 

The goddess of hope 

The goddess in brown 

The goddess of all 

That you've burned to the ground 

There's all kind of hatred 

Flows out of man's hands 

There's the hatred that strangles 

The throat of a man 

But the worst of all hatred 

Is that which is planned 

Against what we have 

In this goddess of land
