Video

The video opens with Ville Valo and Lauri Ylonen sitting at opposite ends of a long table with red candles at each end, using a ouija board as they both sing. Occasional clips of Apocalyptica playing in a misty forest at what appears to be mid morning are strewn randomly throughout the video. As the video progresses the camera follows a woman dressed in white occasionally flashing back to Valo and Ylonen still singing. The woman runs through the same forest Apocalyptica is playing in, later Apocalyptica is shown playing upside down on the ceiling where Valo and Ylonen are sitting with their hair dangling just above them as they (being Valo and Ylonen) continue moving the dial of the ouija board. In the last few seconds of the video, the song ends and the woman is shown laying down to sleep as the moon descends into the horizon. Suddenly the candles at the table blow out, and the video ends with Ylonen and Valo glaring at the camera with wholly black eyes, presumably having been possessed by demons.
