The Levellers

The Levellers were a political movement active during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms who were committed to popular sovereignty, extended suffrage, equality before the law and religious tolerance. The hallmark of Leveller thought was its populism, as shown by its emphasis on equal natural rights, and their practice of reaching the public through pamphlets, petitions and vocal appeals to the crowd.The Levellers came to prominence at the end of the First English Civil War (1642–1646) and were most influential before the start of the Second Civil War (1648–49).

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
