Video

The video for the song was completely stop-motion animated, very much like the band Tool's music videos.

In the video, there is a humanoid parent nurturing her little baby when she notices some TVs falling on her. She runs to avoid the TVs and other falling objects while clutching the baby. Eventually a chapel shrine lands on the humanoid mother, separating her from her baby. One of the saintly figures next to the Virgin Mary grabs the crying baby and tosses it to another figure and back again before the shrine moves upward. There are some gravestones falling next to the humanoid mother for a bit before the chapel shrine comes back down. The figure, still clutching the crying baby, tosses it towards Mary. As the chapel shrine moves up again, clouds pass from above before the Child Jesus wakes up, examines the humanoid baby, and signals his mother Mary to return the baby to its humanoid parent where it belongs, to which Mary complies. She hands the humanoid baby back to its parent, who then places it inside her chest that has a sacred gateway on it. Not long after the baby is safely stowed, one of the falling objects (a table) crushes the parent, but the baby revives its mother by caressing her heart close to it, and she gets up and runs away from more falling objects and knives coming after her, her heart still glowing inside in the warmth of her baby's love.
