Holy Orders (Be Just Or Be Dead)

From Guilty Gear Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

"Holy Orders (Be Just or Be Dead)" is Ky Kiske's classic theme. Composed by Daisuke Ishiwatari, it first appeared in Guilty Gear. It received two major revisions: the first for Guilty Gear X and XX, and another for Guilty Gear 2 -Overture-, although it wasn't officially renamed in any of the soundtracks (unlike Sol's "Keep Yourself Alive").

Robo-Ky has his own version of this theme called "Holy Orders?", which is a modulated arrangement that consists of minors and dissonances.

"Holy Orders" is the most popular, most covered theme in the series and has the most number of versions. In the website for the Guilty Gear x BlazBlue Music Live 2011, "Holy Orders III" won the first place in the GG category.

Guilty Gear XX in L.A Vocal Edition
I see nothing leading you to your destiny
There's nothing leading you back
Where you belong
Fight till death
This war makes you alive
Never forgive a Shenanigan
No fear no shame, you're now beyond destiny
There's nothing pulling you back
Where you belong
Fight till death
This war kept you alive
Never forgive a Shenanigan
We know daylight comes after days of war
And knights will fight and die for piece of peace
And darkness went down and wonders
Earth cracks and mountains vanish underneath the warrior
Blow your mind away! Blow your life away!
You can't look away! You can't get away!
Blow your brain away! Blow your fate away!
Don't you know why?
A guy like you better be tough
Oh!
I see nothing leading you to your destiny
There's nothing leading you back
Where you belong
Fight till death
This war makes you alive
Never forgive a Shenanigan
We know daylight comes after days of war
And knights will fight and die for piece of peace
And darkness goes down and wonders
Skies fall and lightning strikes the sword of the warrior
Blow your mind away! Blow your life away!
You can't look away! You can't get away!
Blow your brain away! Blow your fate away!
Don't you know why? A guy like you better be tough
Blow your mind away! Blow your life away!
You can't look away! You can't get away!
Blow your brain away! Blow your fate away!
Don't you get freaked out!

Trivia

  • Its name probably originates from Iron Maiden's song "Be Quick or Be Dead".
  • In Guilty Gear Xrd, if Ky is knocked down during his opponent's match point, his hair will become loose and the Overture version of "Holy Orders" will begin to play.
