Music video
The video begins by showing the members of the band fixing their stage makeup and costumes. After all are ready, Andy Six is shown smoking and exhaling. The view changes to show Six stitching a wound on his mouth in the mirror with the other members behind him. The track "The Outcasts (Call to Arms)" is heard, with the image of the skeleton of a virgin, then the song begins. In the penultimate choir, a group of children behind them shouting "Go!" with Six, then all the children make a detour to the band, on having ended one sees Six kneeling down and praying, and between the children there appears David Sasik, the young actor who appeared in the "Knives and Pens" music video.[5]
