According to Matt, this is one of the two songs that talk about love; in 'Aftermath' the protagonist finds love again.[1] The song is said to be the opposite of Dead Inside.

The song starts off with the sound of wind, soon joined by violins and synths. Guitars then make up a Hendrix-style ballad.[2] In this song, the protagonist also regains his faith in humanity[3] In another review the song was compared with "One" of U2.

The song sounds very similiar to the vocals of "Soaked", one of their b-sides.

Lyrics

War is all around

I'm growing tired of fighting I've been drained and I can't hide it But I have strength for you You're all that's real anymore I am coming home now I need your comfort

From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone

States are crumbling Walls are rising high again It's no place for the faint-hearted But my heart is strong Because now I know where I belong It's you and I against the world We are free

From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone

We've gone against the tide All we have is each other now I'm coming home now I need your comfort

From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone

From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever Loneliness has gone

From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone

We're bound together Now and forever Loneliness has gone
