  sözleri:
  
  she's the maid of the river
  so beautifully plain
  as fresh as the country
  that gave her her name
  as crisp as the snow
  and as swift as the rain
  she shone like the sun
  before all of our games
  she shone like a jewel
  but her price was not gold
  she cried more than most
  when her story was told
  but her people were evil
  left her barren 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
  when 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
