(Solo To Outro)
The lyrics of Aston's song "Knights of Cydonia" convey a powerful message about the nature of power, the struggle between good and evil, and the importance of perseverance. The song begins with an intense and haunting chant, creating an atmosphere of adventure and mystery. The singer invites the listener to join them on a journey through history, promising to reveal why God sometimes seems absent and neglectful in the face of injustice.
The lyrics highlight the imbalance of power in the world, as the line "How can we win when fools can be kings" suggests that those who are unfit for leadership often rise to positions of authority. It's a call for people not to waste their time on the whims of these foolish leaders, as "time will waste you" if you do.
The chorus serves as a rallying cry, emphasizing the need to fight for what is right and to strive for survival. The repetition of the lines "No one's going to take me alive / Time has come to make things right / You and I must fight for the right / You and I must fight to survive" reinforces the urgency of the situation and the determination to stand up against oppression.
The instrumental solos in the song further amplify the message, with the intensity of the guitar expressing the emotional and physical battles that must be fought. The outro leaves a lasting impact, leaving the listener with a sense of empowerment and a call to action.

I can't believe I am listening to a classical cover of my favorite song! I've been following you guys from the start but never in a million years did I think I would hear this cover from ASTON. You continue to inspire young musicians around the world every day, keep up the brilliant work. Armidale NSW Rep

This song is just epic in and of itself, but I love this new take on it. So amazing. I especially like how at 3:02 what was originally a shredding guitar solo took on an almost Celtic feel. This is just awesome. I love it so much! <3

Que nostalgia louca aconteceu agora. Lembro de ver esse vídeo logo após sua postagem em 2011, onde procurava alguns covers do Muse. Na verdade, esse foi o primeiro cover da banda que vi. Pode parecer pouco para ter nostalgia, mas são 9 anos de diferença. Minha vida é totalmente diferente da época em que vi esse vídeo pela primeira vez.
Não sei porque estou comentando isso, mas encontrar esse vídeo novamente depois de anos foi algo reconfortante.
