Music video

The music video shows the band performing in a warehouse. Images of war are displayed on large screens throughout the video, which are parallel to the band. The video is purely band performance, cross cut between close ups of singer Matt Tuck, and the performance of the rest of the band. The lyrics of the song are about "going to war" as Matt Tuck describes during live shows. For example, they scream "over the top" several times in the song, a reference to World War I
