Music video
The music video shows a man unable to bear his sins; meanwhile, Gackt and the band members, as human-like demons, are singing and playing near him. The man ends up shooting himself in the head following the whispers of the "God of death". According to Gackt, it is a painful song which is not about asking God for help yet listening to God.
