Music video
A grave with flowers on it is shown. Then it transitions to a ball of feathers with an arrowhead on its head kneeling at the site. The bundle of feathers sits in a grassy field then turns around to find a snake dressed in a black jacket, boots, and a hat visiting the grave with flowers in its hand. The snake prays while the ball of feathers watches it. The snake travels up to the site and collapses in sadness at the stone and cries. A tear touches the ball of feathers, and it kneels alongside the snake.

The ball of feathers and the snake walk back down the hill and arrive at a big gate. Two bird guards stop the pair, and the snake pulls off a mask revealing that the snake is a bird. The two cross the barrier and arrive at the bird's house where a dog and the bird's child greet them. The ball and bird come in a study where the bird collapses again. The bundle of feathers puts its hand on the bird for comfort. The memories of the bird are shown when it fought a battle against some lizards killing them. The bundle pulls its hand back while the bird puts its hand on its shoulder looking back, seeing the ball of feather's arm shaking.

The ball of feathers walks through a destroyed village where a lizard family is seen walking in a mirror. Crumbled building with blood on them with arrows sticking up are shown while feathers are blowing in the wind. Finally, the feathers crack an arrow before falling on the ground. Arrows sprout from the ball of feathers and the scene fades.

The snake is seen once again at the grave with a cane. The bundle of feathers watches it with an arrow in hand. The cemetery is shown with flowers all around, and the ball of feathers turns around and faces the tree. A city appears, then the ball of feathers drops the arrow. The scene fades out and ends with a grave with flowers on it.
