Gotta love it.



Yeah, one of my favorites from FOUO - interesting way they came up with
the lyrics for that song.  Quoting from the FAQ:

"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: (1) Where Matter
Vanishes, (2) The Spinning Gateway, (3) Into the Whirlpool, and (4) The
Forbidden Circle.  Part Two (The Iron Sun) begins with (1) The Arm of
Orion."


Brenda also adds regarding CE:

>It has "Black Blade" and "The Marshall Plan" on it. And "Unknown Tongue". I
can't listen to many of the other songs.


My favorites are "Black Blade", "Monsters", "Divine Wind", and "Lips in
the Hills".
