Dark Desires, also known as Dancing in Phantasmic Hell or Second Struggle, is the standard boss theme for Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. A slight rearrangement appeared in this game's pseudo-port/remake, Castlevania: Dracula X, which only changes the timing of certain notes and gives more emphasis to the overall instrumentation.
It was used later as one of the three boss themes for Castlevania (N64) and Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness. It was also reused for Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls during the boss fight against Wyvern and Carmilla.
It was rearranged into the song "Tues Deus Meus" in Rondo of Blood's remake Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles.
