Music video

The video begins with the statement "All the world await this human drama, of man's faith in God", which then leads straight to the start of the song itself. It is mainly black-and-white footage (however, there is a brief period of colour film around the middle eight) of music concert goers, people experiencing religious revelations and preacher men. The video ends with a wild audience applauding 1950s teen idol Fabian Forte, and finally a preacher proclaiming; "When you get to heaven, it'll all be out, and over."

"We're not actually in it," Goffey explains. "It's all really old footage of religious preachers mixed in with old footage of rock and roll audiences, and what's interesting is they react in the same way. They both go into these convulsions and pull their hair out and stuff. It's quite mad.[3]"

gollark: Most mods would just be "place magic box which magically makes magic power".
gollark: The trick to balance is to be like RotaryCraft and calculate all of the maths in extreme detail.
gollark: This is why I suggested "optional coolant".
gollark: They can just transfer heat to the surroundings.
