"Knights of Cydonia" is a song by English rock band Muse. It is the closing track on their fourth studio album, Black Holes and Revelations (2006), and was released as the third single on 27 November 2006. The title refers to the Cydonia region of Mars, which gained public attention from the illusion of a rock formation which looked similar to a human face.
