It's main theme throught is of the future downfall of human civilization as themselves know it.

It has received good reception and brief, but high airplay on hard rock stations, but has been hampered by the Scorpions' reputation as a "classic rock" band.

The music video fits with the song's theme: the band is seen playing on a stage with a doomsday-like background, there are screens that show human suffering , like the 9/11attacks, poverty in Africa and scenes from WWII.

In India, an alternative video was made, consisting of images shot by common people. The video was telecast on VH1 channel.
