About This Track
A spoken-word piece that frames the mechanics of cult leadership as a pitch. Captain Murphy adopts the voice of a recruiter, listing the demands of absolute devotion: family abandonment, financial surrender, bodily submission, and willingness to kill. The tone is clinical, almost transactional, stripping away mysticism to expose the bare structure of coercive control. The track's argument hinges on a void. It posits that since traditional religious authority has collapsed, the space for new gods remains open, and the machinery of cult formation is simply waiting for someone willing to operate it. There is no music, no distraction; the words stand alone, making the proposition impossible to ignore or aestheticise away.
"Disciples" is a track by Captain Murphy, from the album Duality, released 15th November 2012. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics
Don't you want devoted followers? Who leave their families for you Give their money to you Give their bodies to you Give up their lives for you Consider you God, and will kill for you Don't you want to become a cult leader Since the death of God there has been a vacancy open You can fill that void, here is how
