Music video

Two videos were produced for the song. The video edit of the song features mostly clean singing from vocalist Howard Jones with a few background screams, much like the video for "My Curse".

The first video shows the band performing the song inter-cut with footage from Resident Evil: Apocalypse along with close-up shots of the band playing.[3]

The second video cuts out the Resident Evil: Apocalypse footage and cuts between shots of the band performing the song.[4]

gollark: Similarly, knowledge of headquarter relocation does !NOT! imply knowledge of where it's going to/from.
gollark: Yes it is. You knowing that, say, an orbital bee strike is inbound, doesn't make you safe from the orbital strike.
gollark: GTech™ has *much* better apinators than LyricTech™, obviously.
gollark: Fine, firing contraapioforms.
