The never changing face of war. People caught in a chess game of the ultra rich and powerful.

Ann Gates Fiser -Singer/Songwriter- Acoustic/ Folk/ New Age
I'm a singer/songwiter originally from Texas. I used to be a lounge lizard but got tired of doing everyone else's music and now I do only what I love to do of mine or someone else's and I get to avoid the venues that are smoky and filled with drunks. All in all I'm grateful for this way to present my music.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song because I was tired of seeing the greedy few profiting from the constant misery of war promoted with idealistic patriotic sounding reasons that are really lies that conceal the real motivation- absolute greed and power mongering of a few.
Lyrics
War Can you read the signs everywhere? There is something in the air Can you feel the changes coming and hear the sound of drumming? Something evil is in place You don't don't need to know a guy named Sherlock To detect what's coming down on your block When the sabers rattle, there's bound to be a battle Aries has a grin on his face Chorus: This is war, this is war Do you really know what your fighting for This is war You cannot help but stop and wonder Who placed the spell that we are under That's says we've got to kill There's someones blood to spill To make the world a safer place But who is it that stands to gain By causing all this misery and pain? I bet it's not the common man, a pawn in someone's plan We've never really seen the face Chorus Do you know they use fear to control us? To make us blindly hand over our trust To keep us quiet and docile and never ever hostile To the plans they've got for this place Maybe now the times are changing You can hear the alarm bells clanging And some can see the truth Maybe soon we'll have the proof to rip the mask off the face Chorus
