## Music video

[edit]

The music video was released on September 28, 2010 and was directed by P.R. Brown. It presents a narrative that is told out of chronology. It features the band members playing in a Churchlike building. A mob of people break into the church and attack the band members, capturing them. Max is seen being tied to a wooden stake, where he is subsequently burned. Monte is tied up in a similar action, however his rope is pulled as he falls into a lake. Robert is forced to lean his head against a stump, while a man with an axe is implied to have chopped his head off. Meanwhile, Craig is tied to a noose, and is seen barely keeping himself up by lifting his body up by pushing on a stick with his foot. When the video ends, the stick cracks and breaks.
