The Kiss of Death [With Lyrics] (Goldlewis Theme) - Guilty Gear Strive OST

The Kiss of Death (Goldlewis Dickinson's Theme)
Vocal: Naoki Hashimoto
Composer: Daisuke Ishiwatari

Lyrics:
It's not a big deal
We can handle it
I don't have to think about it
What we need to do is clear
Don't you think?
I don't know any other answers than yes
And I don't need to know

Now it's your turn
Cat got your tongue
I'm (ready) for (this work that I do)

Bark and bark
It's a vacant urge
The only myth that no one knows
Bark and bark
Keep going, it's the last sound you'll ever hear
(Words can't cut it)
The Kiss of Death

I'm sorry 'bout that!
You thought this through
I don't have to think about it
Because they don't believe
What about you?
When I'm ordered to, I do anything
I want to keep it that way

Now it's your turn
Cat got your tongue
I'm (ready) for (this work that I do)

Bark and bark
It's a vacant urge
The only myth that no one knows
Bark and bark
Keep going, that's the only sound you'll ever hear
(Words can't cut it)
The Kiss of Death

Bark and bark
It's a vacant urge
Bark and bark
Words that please no one

Bark!

Bark and bark
It's a vacant urge
The only myth that no one knows
Bark and bark
Keep going, that's the last sound you'll ever hear
Can we start all over?

Deal

[BigGuySuper]

Goldlewis is the type of guy to unironically ask what a kilometer is

[ShogunRyuusha]

This man grabbed an RPG in midair and that's still got me months later.

[izurukamukura]

"I don't know any other answers than yes" is such a raw and powerful line and I love it.

[gabor]

this man has "You're up against the wall and I am the fucking wall" energy all over him. the dude will rip you in half, put you back together and then rip you in half again if you mess up against a good Lewis player.

[jaketheva]

In this Behemoth Typhoon, Goldlewis goes from swinging a giant coffin around to getting prank called by the alien who lives inside of his coffin telling them that he ordered pizza.
Goldlewis is the best American stereotype character I’ve ever seen. Kind of a cowboy look, is fat, aliens, cocky, etc. But, they actually make him look intimidating and scary to go up against. And you should be scared. One wrong move and your guard is broken and he gets free frames (to recover on his Behemoth Typhoon). He’s a fun character, but definitely hard to play. His theme is amazing and a hard hitter, like the big man himself, and gives more of that American feel to it. Great theme and character. Certified bop.

[KingHades]

I like to interpret this song as such:
"I hate the system but I am the system F*CK!"

[sniggelbob]

Honestly, I think this song might be the one I relate to the most. Those lines of "It's not a big deal." "I don't have to think about it." are definitely things you hear and think in the military. And the barking, either referring to having orders barked at him or feeling like he's a dog of the system, both hit me the hardest.

[SenyiKimmo]

The musical equivalent of "Oh Lawd He Comin'", and in a terrifying way

[Shadowarfare]

I love that this album came with a game.

[LilyTheMentallyInsane]

Whatever they did with the guitars just perfectly fits “big guy swinging a coffin around”

[Cyborgs]

Giovannas theme : honey the dog is talking again!
Goldlewis theme : GODDAMIT THE DOG IS BARKING AGAIN

[namehere]

In this Behemoth Typhoon, Goldlewis single-handedly brings this channel back from the dead

[giloguy]

The fan base likes to describe Find your one way as feeling like "it's a bar fight and your winning"
In which case for me, Kiss of Death feels like when you walk into that bar a few days later and everyone in there now knows to back the fuck off

[ramblngrse]

I love how most of the other themes have symbolism or atleast some way to elegant way to put the characters struggle but Goldlewis is just:
I FUCKIN HATE MY JOB 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲

[FullyBked]

You gotta understand that Goldlewis is the secretary of absolute defence - nay, he IS the defence - and he’s easily matched by a Japanese girl with an anchor and a British dude with a craving for fast food and the ability to (sometimes) time travel.

God I love this game.

[threatlevelomega]

Remember, Be the American the Japanese think you are.

[Mr.Mcjerkface]

Next to Nagoriyuki, I hope future Guilty Gear games have him in some form or another.

He's too goofy and interesting to not have him on a character wishlist.

[RanCossack]

Secretary of Absolute Defense? Nay, this man is the Secretary of Absolute Unit. Just look at him.

[phantomfox]

In this Behemoth Typhoon, we realize it was a big fucking deal.

[justaguy]

Are we going to ignore the fact that this guy has laser glasses, and a coffin with an alien that says area 51 which also happens to be a machine gun.
