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.

O God Save Us All
Disciple Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coming off of a bad three years
I’ve had nothing but time
For me to think about how
Things aren’t always as they appear
You know the sun will always shine
With every dream that I chase
And just like trying to capture the wind
In the hole we find ourselves in
And it’s sinking
Misguided
Divided
We have nowhere left to fall
O GOD SAVE US ALL
Mistaken
Forsaken
With our backs against the wall
O GOD SAVE US ALL
I’ve been asleep forty days
Been awake forty long nights
My life is stuck in rewind
If I don’t think about
These trials just disappear
My apathy turns out just fine
I’m on a road of regret
The pain I’d like to forget
Like somebody left the record
Stuck on repeat
So that just when you think it’s over
It keeps screaming
Misguided
Divided
We have nowhere left to fall
O GOD SAVE US ALL
Mistaken
Forsaken
With our backs against the wall
O GOD SAVE US ALL
Misguided
Divided
We have nowhere left to fall
O GOD SAVE US ALL
Mistaken
Forsaken
With our backs against the wall
O GOD SAVE US ALL
The lyrics of Disciple's "O God Save Us All" speak of a person battling with the trials and struggles of life. The first stanza shows how the person has had a difficult time for the past three years and has had to constantly think about how things are not always what they appear to be. The person knows that the sun will always shine, implying that they have hope that things will get better. However, no matter how hard they try, they keep failing and losing their dreams. The imagery of trying to capture the wind portrays the futility of their efforts, and the line "In the hole we find ourselves in / And it’s sinking" suggests that they feel trapped and stuck in their situation.
The second stanza talks about how the person is tired and worn out. They have been asleep for forty days and awake for forty long nights, indicating that they have been dealing with their problems for a long time. They feel like their life is stuck in rewind, and the only way they can cope is by trying not to think about their trials. However, this apathy is not a solution but rather a temporary escape. The line "I’m on a road of regret" suggests that they are struggling with guilt and self-blame, and the pain they feel is something they want to forget. The metaphor of a broken record stuck on repeat shows how their situation keeps repeating, no matter how much they try to change it.
Overall, the lyrics of "O God Save Us All" speak of a person who is struggling with the difficulties of life and feels like they have nowhere to turn. The repetition of the lines "Misguided, Divided / We have nowhere left to fall / O GOD SAVE US ALL / Mistaken, Forsaken / With our backs against the wall / O GOD SAVE US ALL" shows an appeal for help and salvation.

I’ve had a bad three days
These last few days have not been going well for me.
Coming off of a bad three years
Things haven't been going well for me for a while.
I’ve had nothing but time
I have had a lot of time to just think.
For me to think about how
This time has allowed me to reflect on how
Things aren’t always as they appear
Not everything is what it seems.
You know the sun will always shine
The future will be better.
With every dream that I chase
For every goal that I pursue
Watch it all be erased
It can all be taken away in an instant.
And just like trying to capture the wind
It's a futile effort.
In the hole we find ourselves in
We find ourselves in a difficult situation.
And it’s sinking
Things are getting worse.
Misguided
We've been led astray.
Divided
We're not united.
We have nowhere left to fall
There's nowhere else to go.
O GOD SAVE US ALL
We need divine intervention.
Mistaken
We've made mistakes.
Forsaken
We've been abandoned or neglected.
With our backs against the wall
We are in a tight spot and have limited options.
I’ve been asleep forty days
I've been numb or unresponsive for a long time.
Been awake forty long nights
I've been anxious or restless for a while.
My life is stuck in rewind
I feel like I'm reliving past mistakes or regrets.
If I don’t think about
If I distract myself from
These trials just disappear
My problems seem to go away.
My apathy turns out just fine
My lack of motivation ends up helping me.
I’m on a road of regret
I'm filled with remorse about my choices.
The pain I’d like to forget
I want to move on from my suffering.
Like somebody left the record
It feels like I'm stuck in a loop.
Stuck on repeat
The same problems keep happening.
So that just when you think it’s over
Just when I thought it was done
It keeps screaming
It comes back even louder.
