This song is about a man who gets sexual desires from killing people. Could possibly be talking about an actual person. Richard Ramirez or the BTK, for example.
[Verse 1]
No one could ever doubt my rapture
As you, too, will soon discover
No one will ever cross my love
Deadly consequence will rise above
[Chorus]
Lying all alone and dead
Visions of erotic bliss
Feel your warmth from inside your skin
A fever I cannot resist
[Verse 2]
Desire, I would kill for you
Right or wrong, I'd do anything
True and pure, the intensity
Every time death is next to me
[Chorus]
Lying all alone and dead
Visions of erotic bliss
Feel your warmth from inside your skin
A passion I cannot resist
[Lead: Hanneman/King]
[Bridge]
Anxiously feeling grotesque
Up against your flesh
Forbidden fantasies
Uncontrollable heat
[Chorus/Outro]
Find yourself all alone and dead
Visions of corroding bliss
Feel the warmth from inside your skin
A sensation I cannot resist
Desire was written by Tom Araya & Jeff Hanneman.
Desire was produced by Rick Rubin.
