Clip
The video was produced by ARK and also released in May 2004. The video opens with a panorama of the planet, possibly New Earth, inhabited by the human race, which is threatened by the ice age. Rockets soar from the city, which are aimed at the approaching glaciers. Following the missiles, an explorer ship with Muse aboard rises into the air. A rocket takes off, goes into space, where it docked with a cryomodule, in which thousands of other people are in cryogenic cells . It can be assumed that the mission of Muse is to explore one of the planets. The ship leaves hyperspace right in the asteroid field around the orange planet. The pilot does not have time to withdraw the ship from the asteroid and loses the cryomodule. Air brakes fail, and the ship makes a hard landing in the desert. The planet turns out to be an abandoned Earth, and Muse look at the ruins of London, buried under a layer of dirt and dust. The Big Ben Tower is clearly visible. Muse seems to be the first people on Earth in years to come.
