The music video for the song premiered on 12 April 2010,[9][10] which was directed by P. R. Brown.[11] The video features the band playing while fire is in the background. Scenes behind the flames show two girls, identical twin actress/models Ginamarie Russo and Annamarie Russo, committing each of the seven deadly sins. The twins can be seen as each of the deadly sins and performing side by side for the deadly sin "Pride". The video ends with the screen fully engulfed in flames.
