Music video

The video features a fictional storyline, in which a centaur sees visions (in what appears to be a haze, not unlike a crystal ball) of a mermaid in danger. The centaur goes out to rescue the mermaid and eventually finds her in the grasp of a giant squid. The centaur slays the squid, and they seem to live happily ever after. These scenes are interspersed with scenes of the band playing in a large, red cave.
