On September 26, 2006 AFI appeared on Total Request Live to premiere the music video. It peaked at #1 shortly afterward, then retired at #7, spending 40 days on the countdown, making it the shortest living music video on the countdown.
The band appears in a snowy forest and they die one by one, leaving Havok as the only remaining member. Havok chases after a mysterious woman played by Christina Petrovic, who reveals herself as evil. After Havok collapses through the ice and attempts to rescue himself, she appears behind him and the two share a kiss. Havok dies and is shown sinking into the water at the end of the music video, with the mysterious woman.
