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 ↴
Take us higher than before
Enter the covenant
Not worth the paper that it's written on
When you speak we all wait
Twenty minutes before you ever even say a thing
And when your words finally make their way out on the stage
You tell me not to speak but you don't understand
That He's ashamed of me when I'm ashamed of Him
What good is the next level if we gain the world
But then we lose our soul?
I'm not saying you're a liar
It's just that none of us believe a word you say
They say the tongue is like a fire
Nothing but empty promises around your flame
I listen to what was said
Even though it's not the same as what you really meant
And when the light is shining on your lips
Can't take the blame when denial is your only friend
You tell me not to speak but you don't understand
That He's ashamed of me when I'm ashamed of Him
You don't believe anymore
The days turn to weeks then to months we haven't heard from you
I'm not saying you're a liar
It's just that none of us believe a word you say
They say the tongue is like a fire
Nothing but empty promises around your flame
I'm not saying you're a liar
It's just that none of us believe a word you say
I will forgive you
But it will take some time to forget
I will forgive you
But it's gonna take some time
I'm not saying you're a liar
It's just that none of us believe a word you say
They say the tongue is like a fire
Nothing but empty promises around your flame
I'm not saying you're a liar
It's just that none of us believe a word you say
They say the tongue is like a fire
Nothing but empty promises around your flame
I will forgive you
But it will take some time to forget
I will forgive you
But it'll take some time
The lyrics to Disciple's song "Liar" explore the idea of a leader who uses his words to manipulate and deceive their followers. The singer calls out this leader for their empty promises, claiming that none of their words can be trusted. The covenant that they enter into is revealed to be worthless, not worth the paper it's written on. The singer notes that when this leader speaks, people wait in anticipation, but often their words are confusing or meaningless. They urge this leader to understand that being ashamed of one's faith means losing one's soul, even if they gain the world. Despite everything, the singer claims that they will eventually forgive this leader, but it will take time to forget the damage that has been done.
Overall, the lyrics showcase the importance of integrity and authenticity in leadership. Those in positions of power should use their words wisely and honestly, and not manipulate or deceive those who trust them. The song's message is a warning against those who use their leadership roles for personal gain, rather than to help those they lead.
Line by Line Meaning
Disguised as a remedy
Presenting yourself as a solution to a problem, but it's actually deceptive
Take us higher than before
Promising to elevate us to a better state, but it's not true
Enter the covenant
Joining a sacred agreement that is not worth the paper it's written on
Not worth the paper that it's written on
The agreement has no real value or legitimacy
When you speak we all wait
Everyone is silent and attentive, waiting for you to talk
Twenty minutes before you ever even say a thing
There is a long delay before you speak, making everyone anxious
And when your words finally make their way out on the stage
When you finally speak, you do it in a grandiose way, like a performer on a stage
Only God knows what they even mean
Your words are incomprehensible and confusing, leaving people wondering what you meant
You tell me not to speak but you don't understand
You silence me without understanding that it makes me feel ashamed of my faith
That He's ashamed of me when I'm ashamed of Him
Feeling ashamed of my religious beliefs makes me feel like I am disappointing God
What good is the next level if we gain the world
Achieving success and status in the world is not valuable if we lose our spiritual connection
But then we lose our soul?
Losing our spiritual center and values leads to losing our true essence as human beings
I'm not saying you're a liar
I'm not accusing you of deliberately lying
It's just that none of us believe a word you say
Your credibility is low, so we don't trust what you say
They say the tongue is like a fire
The words you speak have the potential to cause harm, like a blazing flame
Nothing but empty promises around your flame
Your words are filled with false assurances and deceit
I listen to what was said
I try to pay attention to what you are saying
Even though it's not the same as what you really meant
But even when I try to understand, it's hard because your true intentions are unclear
And when the light is shining on your lips
When you talk, people focus on your mouth and the words you say
Can't take the blame when denial is your only friend
You refuse to take responsibility for your deceptive words and rely on denial to protect yourself
You don't believe anymore
Your own faith and beliefs are no longer strong, making it hard for others to trust you
The days turn to weeks then to months we haven't heard from you
You become distant and we are left wondering where you are and what you're doing
I will forgive you
I am willing to let go of your deceitful words and actions
But it will take some time to forget
But it will be hard to forget what happened and what you said
