    Zacharias Vardas

    CRETAN MUSIC's "NEW BLOOD"

     

    Had I ways to forget

    And Feelings to change

    I would have found the strength

    To moan no more.

    Zacharias Vardas

… I cannot compromise; my performance is a true expression of my feelings; otherwise I feel I delude myself.

I am not satisfied with life as I understand it. Occasionally I need to muffle my senses and live on running the risk of being branded as a fool. Little do I care if others call me a moron or idiot; besides, they have called me names before. People urge me to “wake up”. I do not understand what they mean by that. The fact that I blunt my senses against life as is does not mean that I am not aware of the overabundant plainness and ugliness in life, nor that I cower before them. I would rather look like an idiot to those who compromise with plainness than become just like them.

I do not think I can change; this is what I am, unless my soul dies out. But a man’s soul is immortal, even for those people who have lost it in the maze of confusion.

My entire life spins around that lyre. I can do without Maria, Sophia, Georgia; I can do without a woman. Naturally, I am not made of stone; should these women leave me I will cry but ultimately seek comfort in my lyre – the love of my life. For me the lyre is the only depository of my inner most feelings.
