Knights Of Cydonia Lyrics
Muse
Lyrics
Come ride with me
Through the veins of history
I'll show you how God
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
No one's gonna take me alive
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
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
Time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
