Disciple was formed in 1992 by friends Kevin Young, Brad Noah, Tim Barrett, and Adrian DiTommasi (who would leave the band shortly after inception) in an attempt to spread the gospel while playing the loud, metallic music they loved. Over the years, their style evolved into one similar to many secular alternative metal groups, as they toured churches, high schools, colleges, and similar venues. Their self-released debut, What Was I Thinking, came out in 1995, followed by an EP, My Daddy Can Whip Your Daddy, on Warner Resound in 1997. Their sophomore full-length effort, This Might Sting a Little Bit, followed two years later on Rugged Records. By God followed in 2001 on the same label.
2003's Back Again found the band on a new label, their own independent Slain Records. That year, the trio became a quartet with the addition of bassist Joey Fife to their lineup. The group signed with INO Records the following year and released a self-titled LP in June of 2005. Scars Remain arrived on Integrity in late 2006. After years of nominations, the album won the band their first Dove Award for Rock Album of the Year.
In 2008, Noah and Fife stepped down from the band and their spots were filled by bassist Israel Beachy and guitarists Andrew Welch and Micah Sannan. Southern Hospitality arrived later that year. Before their next release, founding drummer Tim Barrett would also part ways with Disciple, replaced by Trent Reiff. Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, Disciple's eighth LP, came out in April 2010. It topped the Christian chart and entered the Billboard Top 50. As the band's popularity grew, they embarked on a handful of tours with other top Christian acts like Thousand Foot Krutch and Skillet.
2012 saw the release of O God Save Us All, as well as a flurry of lineup changes. After four years with Disciple, Welch left the band to join Thousand Foot Krutch, while Sannan and Beachy were replaced by Josiah Prince (Philmont) and Jason Wilkes (High Flight Society). By early 2013, Reiff exited and was replaced by Joey West. Andrew Stanton also joined the band, leaving Young as the only original member.
The refreshed quintet forged ahead with the crowdfunded release of 2014's Attack, which became their highest Billboard 200 entry to date, peaking at number 44. Produced by longtime Disciple producer Travis Wyrick, Attack also rose to the number two spots on the Hard Rock and Christian charts. It would be the first and last album with Wilkes on bass, who left the band the next year. Vultures, a six-song EP recorded during the Attack sessions, was released at the end of 2015. Another EP, Live in Denmark, arrived the following year, accompanied by a series of concert videos from Denmark's RiverFest.
The band -- now a quartet -- issued another crowdfunded effort in 2016. Their 11th album, Long Live the Rebels, debuted at number 125, making it the group's sixth Billboard 200 entry to date. After signing with the Tooth & Nail label at the end of 2018, Disciple released their 12th full-length, Love Letter Kill Shot, in September 2019.

Disciple Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my heart is breaking
Hell is awakened
The souls it's taking
We'll take them back where they belong
You can not make us stop
You'll never make us stop
It's not about the songs
Who will stand to rise against injustice
Take up the cause of the unwanted ones
Who will stand to fight against it
We live, we fight
We live, we die
We fight for love
We live, we fight
We live, we die
We fight for love
We live, we live, we fight, we fight
We live, we die
We fight for love
We live, we live, we fight, we fight
We live, we die
We fight for love
Church windows breaking
From people living outside the walls
The bride must be ready
For Jesus' imminent return
Who will stand to rise against injustice
Take up the cause of the unwanted ones
Who will stand to fight against it
We live, we fight
We live, we die
We fight for love
We live, we fight
We live, we die
We fight for love
We live, we live, we fight, we fight
We live, we die
We fight for love
We live, we live, we fight, we fight

The lyrics to Disciple's song "Fight for Love" speak of a world filled with darkness and surrounded by evil, but also of hope and the fight for justice. The first lines of the song indicate the bleakness of the environment, with a failing body and a breaking heart. Hell is also awoken, and it is taking souls away. However, the singer declares that they will take them back where they belong, indicating the determination to fight against the forces of darkness that seek to take away what is rightfully ours.
The song encourages us to stand up and fight against injustice, speaking of the unwanted ones who need someone to take up their cause. The singer is asking who will rise up to fight against it? The chorus declares that we live, we fight, and we die, but we fight for love. The reference to love suggests that this is not a battle against people, but against evil. It also reminds us that love never gives up, and it is that love that motivates us to continue fighting even in the face of darkness.
The song continues by mentioning church windows breaking and the need for the bride to be ready for Jesus' return. This section of the song suggests that there is a sense of urgency to the call for action, and that we need to be prepared for the Second Coming. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the message that we live, we fight, and we die, but we fight for love.
