The band has since disbanded due to Troy Tipton's arm injury. Jasun Tipton stated "...he had the surgery and has been working hard to get back into playing shape. He’ll never be perfect but he’s gaining some strength in his arm and pushing forward. Much of the Zero Hour material Troy played with a lot of left hand strength. In Zero Hour there’s a lot of tapping and legato bass line in the material. Troy can’t and will not put his arm through those problems again as he still has issues." Jasun & Troy are now focusing on two new projects: the instrumental act Abnormal Thought Patterns and the vocally-driven Cynthesis.

Zero Hour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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...
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 clouded sun has darkened
The sky is gloomy and full of clouds
From the mist his mind has risen
His mind is clouded and confused
He is imprisoned
He is trapped and unable to escape
Distant cries from all around
He can hear people's voices but they are far away
In his time of despair
He is feeling hopeless and lost
Shadows are everywhere
There is darkness all around him
Hope has faded from life
He has lost all hope
For the last time the sky is dark
The darkness will never end
On closing walls he left his mark
He has left his final message on the walls that surround him
Leave me to myself
He wants to be alone
No one can help me, no one but me!
He knows that he is the only one who can save himself
Murderer! Admit your crime and life can be spared
If he confesses, he might be spared
Murderer! This may be your final chance!
This may be his last chance to confess
But those words were left unsaid
He never confessed
A broken neck to see him dead
He was executed by hanging
Soon his life will come to tan end
His life is almost over
No angels will come from heaven sent
There will be no divine intervention
And the sun will rise
A new day will begin
And bury all of his lies
All his lies will be forgotten
People have gathered to see him die
There are people waiting to see him being executed

Never again, never again
His crime will never be repeated again
He was left there hanging as they went away
They left him hanging on the gallows
They left him for the vultures as prey
His body was left to rot and be eaten by birds
Now his life has come to an end
His life is over
No angel came from heaven send
There was no divine intervention
But the sun will rise
A new day will begin
And bury all of his lies
All his lies will be forgotten
I cry for you my son lost for me
Someone is mourning the loss of their son
Far from heaven you will be
He is in hell
I shall bury all your lies
All his lies will be forgotten
All your lies...
All his lies

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.
