Music video
editThe song's video was directed by Ramon Boutviseth (Dream Theater, All That Remains)[7] and shows the band separated in a strange "swamp like cave". There is no performance in the video. It is a continuation of a series of videos from where the previous single In Waves left off, like its predecessor the end of the video leaves off with a message stating "To be continued" as the series was planned to continue after this video's release but didn't go ahead for unknown reasons. Along with the rest of the songs from the album a live performance of the song from Chapman Studios was released.[8]
