No music video was made for the song, but an official lyric video debuted on January 23, 2012 via Noisecreep.[2] It is speculated there was to be a music video which would continue the series where the "Built to Fall" music video left off which for unknown reasons did not continue and there would be a standalone music video for "Watch the World Burn" released on November 16, 2012. The song peaked at no. 40 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart on May 11, the band's first charting single on that chart since "The Rising" from 2007.[3]
