According to the Rush biography Visions, the saying at the beginning was purposely mixed so it could not be understood. The idea was to add to the feeling of fear. It was created using sounds of the band screaming outside the studio.
Alex Lifeson (from "In The Studio"): "We went outside of Le Studio and it was so cold, it was really cold; we were well into December by then, I think. We were all out there. We put a couple of mics outside. We started ranting and raving. We did a couple of tracks of that. I think we had a bottle of Scotch or something with us to keep us warm. So as the contents of the bottle became less and less, the ranting and raving took on a different flavor. We were in the control room after we had layed down about twelve tracks of mob - in hysterics. Every once in awhile you'd hear somebody say something really stupid."
Hugh Syme played synthesizers on this song. He created most of the Rush cover art.
