Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun Lyrics – Pink Floyd – Ummagumma

Home / Pink Floyd Lyrics / Ummagumma Lyrics / Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun Lyrics Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (Waters) 9:26 Little by little the night turns around.Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn.Lotuses lean on each other in yearning.Under the eaves the swallow is resting.Set the controls for the heart of the sun. Over the mountain watching the watcher.Breaking the darknessWaking the grapevine.One inch of love is one inch of shadowLove is the shadow that ripens the wine.Set the controls for the heart of the sun.The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun. Witness the man who raves at the wallMaking the shape of his questions to Heaven.Whether the sun will fall in the eveningWill he remember the lesson of giving?Set the controls for the heart of the sun.The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun. 01. Astronomy Domine02. Careful With That...

Unlike their other tracks, this one forgoes traditional lyrics for murmurs, whispers, and an iconic, chilling scream from Roger Waters. The title itself, seemingly a cautionary statement, sets a scene of suspense and impending chaos. The track starts with a serene and meditative arrangement, dominated by Richard Wright’s haunting organ notes and the gentle plucking of David Gilmour’s guitar. The steady, muffled beat from Nick Mason’s drums creates a hypnotic rhythm that lulls the listener into a trance-like state....
