Come ride with me
Through the veins of history
I'll show you a God
Who falls asleep on the job
And how can we win?
When fools can be Kings
Don't waste your time
Or time will waste you
Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh
Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh
Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh
Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh
Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh
Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/muse/knights_of_cydonia.html ]
No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
Video's kinda weird... It tells more of a story than the song does, if you ask me. Future cowboys... Definitely weird. Guess you have to actually be in muse to be able to get away with that level of weirdness.
*did you know that whan this was first released, they had a competition to see who could spot all the film references? Random fact of the day. *
The song's meaning is to teach people to stand up for themselves and make their own destiny. And it was inspired by the 1962 no1 "telstar", a song by the tornados, matt's dad's band. And do you guys really only like it because of guitar hero? Shame :/
This song talks about how the government can be beat and that we need to act soon because time will waste you. Which means we have a set date to die. This is also how he wants us all to make a stand because we can work together to overpower it.
