Aftermath is one of the only songs about love on the Drones, with the other being “Dead Inside”. The difference between the two is that while the latter is about losing love, this track is about rediscovering love.
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
From this moment, from this moment
You will never be alone
We're bound together, now and forever
The loneliness has gone
[Verse 2]
States are crumbling, and walls are rising high again
It's no place for the faint-hearted
But my heart is strong 'cause now I know where I belong
It's you and I against the world, and we are free
[Chorus]
From this moment, from this moment
You will never be alone
We're bound together, now and forever
The loneliness has gone
[Bridge]
We've gone against the tide
All we have is each other now
And I am coming home now
I need your comfort
[Chorus]
(From this moment) From this moment, (From this moment) from this moment
(You will never be alone) Never be alone, yeah
(We're bound together) We're bound together, (Now and forever) now and forever
(The loneliness has gone) The loneliness has gone
(From this moment) From this moment, (From this moment) from this moment
(You will never be alone) Never be alone
We're bound together, now and forever
The loneliness has gone
From this moment (From this moment), from this moment (From this moment)
You will never be alone
We're bound together, now and forever
The loneliness has gone
[Outro]
We're bound together
Now and forever
The loneliness has gone
