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:
Where Matter Vanishes
The Spinning Gateway
Into the Whirlpool
The Forbidden Circle
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.
