Lies
Zero Hour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The clouded sun has darkened
From the mist his mind has risen
He is imprisoned
Distant cries from all around
In his time of despair
Shadows are everywhere
Hope has faded from life
For the last time the sky is dark
On closing walls he left his mark
Leave me to myself
No one can help me,
no one but me!
Murderer! Admit your crime and life can be spared
Murderer! This may be your final chance!
But those words were left unsaid
A broken neck to see him dead
Soon his life will come to tan end
No angels will come from heaven sent
And the sun will rise
And bury all of his lies
People have gathered to see him die
The crowd screaming questions, why?
Soon his life will come to an end
No angels will come from heaven sent
And the sun will rise
And bury all of his lies
Murderer! Confess and your life can be yours (again)
Murderer! Confess, or else you will hang!
(No! I have no regrets, I have no remorse. No, I will
Not cry, I leave myself to die!)
(So, by your own decision we hereby sentence you to
eternity. May your name fall into oblivion!)
And by the raise of a hand he was silenced
Never again, never again
He was left there hanging as they went away
They left him for the vultures as prey
Now his life has come to an end
No angel came from heaven send
But the sun will rise
And bury all of his lies
I cry for you my son lost for me
Far from heaven you will be
I shall bury all your lies




All your lies...
Lies...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Lies" by Zero Hour tells the story of a man who is imprisoned and about to be executed for a crime that he may or may not have committed. The clouded sun represents a bleak future and the mist of the man's mind represents confusion and despair. He is surrounded by shadows and distant cries and is left with a feeling of hopelessness. The song takes the listener through the journey of his trial, sentencing, and eventual death. The man refuses to confess, accepts his fate, and is left to hang as the people who convicted him walk away, leaving him to be consumed by the vultures.


The song touches on the themes of isolation, self-forgiveness, and a bleak afterlife. The singer appears to accept his fate and is not looking for forgiveness from anyone but himself. The lyrics suggest that he is left for the vultures to be consumed, which is symbolic of his soulless and meaningless death. The song is a powerful narrative of a lone figure searching for redemption and failing to find it in the end.

The Creator of everything is in charge, whether we like it or not.

everything created by the one who is in charge exists because he did that way and we the limited creatures think with our limited mind in terms of good and evil, beautiful and ugly, christian and muslim, we even dont know what we dont know and still dont understand life and universe. we kill other beings to eat them and survive but think that is right because God left it that way, but when someone harms us this is a bad thing. we think we are very spiritual but we wear shoes made from another being skin.

Yes. However we still have free will and He has told us how this will play out. It's not going to be a pretty scene for most of us either.
