I think that it is about someone who is feeling really numb and doesn't have any motivation in life,
'death is at your doorstep, and it will steal your innocence, but it will not steal your substance, you are not alone in this"
it means that you are so close to giving up, death being at your door step, and it has stolen your innocent mind, so things that you believed when you were little,
like getting married and love and all that stuff that we get told is true by our parents, it's all gone and you don't believe in it so whats the point,
they are saying that whoever this person is, they are not the only one who feels that way and they will do whatever they can to fix them, but "i won't move the mountain, for you" essentially is saying that whoever this person is, they have to cooperate in getting themselves back on track
i have always found that mumford and sons are really clever at using metaphors in their lyrics, and this line especially, gets me everytime!
