Song Meaning
Disciple's "Long Live The Rebels" is a battle cry for everyone the world has written off. The opening verses stack identity on identity — misfits, renegades, an "outcast rogue brigade," leftovers the world threw away — and the song doesn't ask for sympathy so much as declare independence. There's a deliberate refusal in the repeated lines about not wanting love or fame, a recognition that the wolves take more than they give. The chorus turns that rejection into a rallying point: let the world go its own way, the rebels will run straight into the flood, bleeding "a different kind of blood." That image carries the weight of the whole song — not merely defiance for its own sake, but a distinct identity, a different lineage. The second verse sharpens the point with talk of mutiny and refusing enslavement, then lands on a striking claim: these rejected ones are the only face of God the blind will ever see. The bridge repeats the embrace of rejection until it becomes a creed. The song ends on permanence — "we will never die" — not as bravado but as the logical conclusion of belonging to something the world cannot kill.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
We are the misfit renegades
We're caught somewhere
Between heaven and rage
We're the outcast rogue brigade
The forgotten leftovers
That the world threw away
We don't want your love
We don't want your fame
The wolves will give you nothing
In return for what they take
We've given up being accepted
We're the rejected
That embrace our rejection
The world can go their own way
We will run straight to the flood
Long live the rebels
Who bleed a different kind of blood
The world can go their own way
We will run straight to the flood
Long live the rebels
Long live the rebels
We will never die
We are the black flag mutiny
We will not be enslaved
To your atrocities
We're the late great epiphany
We're the only face of God
That the blind are gonna see
We don't want your love
We don't want your fame
The wolves will give you nothing
In return for what they take
The world can go their own way
We will run straight to the flood
Long live the rebels
Who bleed a different kind of blood
The world can go their own way
We will run straight to the flood
Long live the rebels
Long live the rebels
We've given up being accepted
We're the rejected
We've given up being accepted
We're the rejected
The world can go their own way
We will run straight to the flood
Long live the rebels
Who bleed a different kind of blood
The world can go their own way
We will run straight to the flood
Long live the rebels
Long live the rebels
We will never die
