Music video

The video for "Pearl's Dream" starts with Khan rising from a mist to find herself on a stage facing an empty auditorium. As Khan starts to dance, we see the planets and night sky glowing around her. A wolf appears with Khan, and seems to examine the surroundings. Khan then notices a blond woman in the audience, which we assume to be Pearl. Pearl watches Khan's show, seemingly unimpressed at first, but as it progresses she seems to become scared and makes her way slowly toward the stage, reaching to grab Khan by the neck as the wolf snarls and growls at her. The planets above shoot a laser at Pearl, effectively destroying her. She leaves behind her clothes and blond hair as if she has been disintegrated. The video then ends with stars falling from the sky onto Khan. The video was directed by
