[edit] Music video

The video has the group performing on a rotating platform, while being surrounded by a stationary tornado with dust and rubble accumlating in it. When Heidi's verse comes up everything comes to a stand still (including the tornado).

In the end chorus it appears the tornado has disappeared.
