The song was written based on a unfinished/unreleased remix of the In Tenebris song Holy Ghost. While Holy Ghost is written from the point of view of a dominant personality, Desire is written from the opposite point of view; a person approaching, offering themselves to the original narrator. -JJ

The evening passes, in it’s wake remains a plight I can’t evade
A never ending masquerade
Each visage upon my face, a fallen form is soon replaced
Still longing for the one I can’t embrace

There is something so intoxicating in the way your body moves
The give and the take quells the urge to escape

My fingers are tingling, my body on fire
So ill prepared to feel this desire
I wander through the city in a daze
It seems so strange, to feel this way
And still I say, that each passing day
Draws me further, and I’ll never be the same
As I run to you unafraid

The desperation in my voice conveys the longing that I feel
A sentiment I can’t conceal
Teach me with the thunder, rain; I’ll gladly bleed if in your name
I’ll taste the fire, surely die by flame

There is something almost holy in the way the moonlight frames your shape
So fearless and sure, angelic and pure

My fingers are tingling, my body on fire
So ill prepared to feel this desire
I wander through the city in a daze
It seems so strange, to feel this way
And still I say, that each passing day
Draws me further, and I’ll never be the same
As I run to you unafraid
