I tied myself with wire To let the horses run free Playing with the fire until the fire played with me The stone was semi-precious We were barely conscious Two souls too smart to be in the realm of certainty Even on our wedding day We set ourselves on fire Oh, God, do not deny her It's not if I believe in love But if love believes in me Oh, believe in me At the moment of surrender I folded to my knees I did not notice the passers-by And they did not notice me I've been in every black hole At the altar of the dark star My body's now a begging bowl That's begging to get back, begging to get back To my heart To the rhythm of my soul To the rhythm of my unconsciousness To the rhythm that yearns To be released from control I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine I could see in the reflection A face staring back at me At the moment of surrender Of vision over visibility I did not notice the passers-by And they did not notice me I was speeding on the subway Through the stations of the cross Every eye looking every other way Counting down till the pain would stop At the moment of surrender Of vision over visibility I did not notice the passers-by And they did not notice me

Daniel Lanois revelou que "Moment Of Surrender" foi concebida como uma composição de conjunto, com todos os músicos contribuindo simultaneamente ao arranjo.
A produção da faixa incorpora o característico “som Eno/Mullen”, incluindo um ritmo de tambor manual que se repete ao longo da música.
No esboço inicial, Lanois estava designado para cantar o refrão, mas Bono o interrompeu apontando para ele e sugerindo que fosse o próprio Lanois a cantar a melodia.
A sonoridade da gravação foi descrita como “um som canadense”, uma homenagem à influência da banda The Band e ao estilo regional de Simcoe.
Lanois se referiu ao resultado final como o “Simcoe sound”, destacando a intenção de capturar uma identidade musical específica da província de Ontário.
