Great Muse song from 'Black Holes and Revelations'. Is the longest song on the album at 6:06 minutes long, with just [instrumentals] at first, with no lyrics until 2:06 minutes in. The meaning of the song is quite hard to determine, but the following is my [interpretation] of it.

Cydonia is a region of Mars where life was rumoured to have once existed. The knights are either the 4 horsemen of the apocolypse or just plain knights. Either way, they tell the people of Cydonia that "God falls asleep on the job", encouraging them to destroy God, saying "how can we win, when fools can be kings?". The people of Cydonia destroy God, [under the influence] of the knights. In the future of this 'story', in todays present, the cycle has gone full circle, with Governments now in control, but are asleep on the job. This theory is the culmination of my and my friends opinions, and has not just been taken off the internet, so may of course be totally wrong, but I think it ties in [well] with the political nature of the album.

Another loose theory is that it's linked with 'Sing for Absolution', from one of Muse's older albums, 'Absolution', watch the video to see why.
