[edit] Music Video
The video has a very dark theme, with the band playing the song in a dark wasteland. However, as the song continues, an orange rain begins to fall and 'light up the sky' for those that live in the gloomy world.
This is the last video to feature Peter Mosely as the band's bassist.
This is the band's last single/music video until further notice.
