The video

The video is shot in a desert in Spain. It tells the story of a group of vigilante angels who make it their mission to wipe out evil. Sharon den Adel is a woman who has been seemingly abandoned on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. She accepts a lift from a priest, who takes her back to his home. The priest is in fact a serial killer, who adopts different disguises to get to his victims. All of these disguises are trustworthy people, like a doctor or a priest. As den Adel stumbles upon a board full of newspaper clippings in the killers home, which are about his previous victims, he overpowers her with chloroform. He takes her to the middle of the desert to bury her alive. However, the rest of the vigilantes appear and the killer is confronted with the spirits of his victims, who destroy him. The vigilantes then move onto their next target.

The theme to the 1979 film Phantasm is sampled.
