Heavy Metal : The Black and Silver Lyrics
It's in the whirlpool, where matter vanishes
Degenerate star, arm of Orion
An iron sun, the forbidden circle
It's a mountain, it's a black horizon
Heavy metal, black and silver
Falling matter of the sun
Folds itself into a place
Where there was never, never one
By starlight, the heaviest will rise up
Magnetic mirrors, scattered body slow
A chaos of metal, river of fire
A night sea crossing (the countless) blue and glows
Heavy metal, black and silver
Falling matter of the sun
Folds itself into a place
Where there was never, never one
Falling matter, from the cross
Freedom that was never lost
Beyond the end, we'll be coming
Beyond time, space and control
Direction - sun light
Creation - done right
Foundation - before the Einstein grips the night
Spans a river - star light
Become tired - damn right
World - I love darkness
Without end - and I love light
Heavy metal, black and silver
Falling matter of the sun
Folds itself into a place
Where there was never, never, never, never one
Degenerate star, arm of Orion
An iron sun, the forbidden circle
It's a mountain, it's a black horizon
Falling matter of the sun
Folds itself into a place
Where there was never, never one
Magnetic mirrors, scattered body slow
A chaos of metal, river of fire
A night sea crossing (the countless) blue and glows
Falling matter of the sun
Folds itself into a place
Where there was never, never one
Freedom that was never lost
Beyond the end, we'll be coming
Beyond time, space and control
Creation - done right
Foundation - before the Einstein grips the night
Spans a river - star light
Become tired - damn right
World - I love darkness
Without end - and I love light
Falling matter of the sun
Folds itself into a place
Where there was never, never, never, never one

The lyrics to the song, "Heavy Metal: The Black And Silver" were inspired by the 1977 book, The Iron Sun: Crossing The Universe Through Black Holes, by Adrian Berry. Several of the lyrics to the first verse are derived from chapter titles of the book.
The chapters to Part One (Through the Black Hole) are titled as follows:
Part Two (The Iron Sun) begins with (1) The Arm of Orion.
According to "Morning Final #14", the songs "Vengeance (The Pact)" and "Don't Turn Your Back" were written following the script of the movie "Heavy Metal", with "Heavy Metal: The Black And Silver" also being inspired by the movie, but not directly from the script.
