Disiplin (Norwegian for Discipline), was formed the summer of 2000, as a vehicle for the Pagan Current, and to express this in music and writing. In 2002, Disiplin released "Vama Marga"! One hundred copies were handed out at that year's Inferno Festival. The response was overwhelming! "Vama Marga" was later published on the Disiplin website, for people to download. In 2003, Disiplin signed with Moonfog Productions. Studio was booked (Akkerhaugen Lydstudio), and the release date was set for late 2003.
...and the World of the Unpure was Set on Fire!
The same year (2003) Disiplin performed its first concert, and marking it, released "The DeathRite Sessions", limited to 31 copies (self released). The War was begun! After recording the self-titled debut album, of songs dating back to the very beginning of Disiplin's birth, it was released late 2003 in Norway, and early 2004 worldwide. The album was praised by local press, international music press and fans! Disiplin performed several concerts in Norway, including the Inferno Festival in 2004, where Disiplin, first publicly made its presence known!
...and the Word of Wotan was spread to the world!
Summer of 2004, Disiplin once again entered Akkerhaugen Lydstudio to record its second opus, "Anti-Life". Again, 11 tracks of pure Pagan, Disciplined, Sonic Terror was recorded. The sound was more refined, and the articulation and focus was ever stronger! The Word of Iron, was Spread to the World! Early 2005, "Anti-Life" was released to the world! Again, Disiplin received the attention of everyone! Outstanding reviews and reactions from the press and fans!
...and in Silence and Secrecy Shall the Strong Arise!
After some time of absolute silence! Disiplin once again returns... shrouded in mystery.
For the Glory of Wotan; for his Word is Victory!

Disiplin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
might warm the dreams of the poor
all is well, all is well
nothing is well when the weak are held underneath
slow your words, let 'em cease,
careless chatter will not bring peace
(chorus)
silently crouching, now it sits
waiting for it's people to awake
seek the wave before it breaks
build, Christian, build, O if only the guns of defense
that you store, discerned justice and secured
all is well, all is well
nothing is well when a child goes underneath
bear your arms, but show some heart
to subject and silence is not God's peace
(chorus)
look, Christian, see, O that the masses in your church
would rush into the line of fire
all is well, all is well
a conscious numbed, eased, killed
golden pockets, pockets filled
peace is not found, it's built on sacrafice
The lyrics of Disiplin's song, Liberation, are a call to action for Christians to wake up and take action against injustice and inequality in the world. The first verse urges Christians to pray, but not for their own salvation or comfort - instead, the lyrics suggest that Christians should pray for the fires of their own hell to warm the dreams of the poor. This is a powerful metaphor that suggests that the suffering of the poor is directly linked to the actions and attitudes of wealthy Christians. The lyrics go on to say that nothing is well when the weak are held underneath, and that "careless chatter" will not bring peace.
The chorus of the song emphasizes that the "kingdom of God" is already present in the world, but that it is waiting for people to awaken and take action. The second verse encourages Christians to "build" - but not to build up their own defenses, as with guns or other weapons. Instead, the lyrics suggest that Christians should use their resources and influence to promote justice and protect those who are vulnerable. The final verse urges Christians to take a hard look at their own lives and their church communities, and to recognize the ways in which they may be contributing to inequality and injustice. The lyrics emphasize that "peace is not found, it's built on sacrifice" - a powerful statement that suggests that true peace and justice can only be achieved through difficult and sacrificial action.
Overall, Liberation is a powerful and challenging song that urges Christians to wake up and take action against injustice and inequality in the world. The lyrics emphasize that true peace and justice can only be achieved through sacrifice and active engagement, and that Christians have a responsibility to use their resources and influence to protect and uplift the most vulnerable members of society.
