Haken - Celestial Elixir Lyrics






Oh, I still hear the angels' song
whispered by a child that once belonged.
With tears of joy so white,
the colour of a restless night,
more than a faint memory can provide.
If years go by,
fear and pain will sustain in your eyes.

She may never return, but I can wait forever.
If we can't make amends,
I'll chase your rainbow till the end...

Find us a cure for your disease,
spare us your ancient remedy.
If this is all I ever ask,
emptiness is all I ever had.

Our lives are scarred from deep within,
scales grow all over our skin.
A miracle is all I'll ever need
to cure them all,
holding onto my amphibian dream.

She may never return, but I can wait forever.
If we can't make amends,
I'll chase your rainbow till the end...

Find us a cure for your disease,
spare us your ancient remedy.
If this is all I ever ask,
emptiness is all I ever had.

The calm that comes after the storm,
the tide that never reaches the shore.
So heavenly your remedy.
When love prevails,
swallowing the blood of enemies.

She may never return, but I will wait forever.
If we cannot make amends,
I'll chase your rainbow till the end...

Streams of light unite with water
running through our veins.
Streams of blood like liquid,
love is running through our veins...

  1. H.... V....

    HOLLY SHIT.... NOW.... I DONT LIKE HAKEN A LITTLE BIT LESS

  2. A.... A....

    10:51 Es un vals sobre las olas.

  3. A.... M....

    Amazing in every way. His voice is just...no words....How can somebody put thumbs down to this? Milli Vanilli fans surely.

  4. A.... i....

    I feel sorry for the millions of people out there who haven't heard this...

  5. M.... ....

    haken every day

  6. T.... ....

    the vocals make this song...…. amazing

  7. M.... ....

    Celestial

  8. R.... M....

    If these guys decided to make shorter songs but keep the same sound they’d be one of the biggest rock bands in the world

  9. J.... B....

    Magnificant doesn't even begin to describe this

  10. a.... ....

    Ross is actually a god! What a voice!

  11. R.... S....

    Favorite chorus of any song by any band probably here in this one.

  12. R.... ....

    Listening to this makes me feel I'm at a Worlds Fair eating cotton candy atop a ferris wheel in the late 1800s.......

  13. R.... B....

    I remember when I discovered haken at some point in 2012. That "Finally! Some GOOD music and interesting compositions!" feeling that I couldn't find listening to any other prog band.Aquarius, visions and the mountain, masterpieces.

  14. u.... ....

    God, I don't know why this song moves me so much (the singing part in particular), it brings out tears every time, but there it is. Haken is THE best band currently working, and I say this with ALL respect to other amazing favourites of mine (Riverside, Dream Theatre etc)

  15. H.... J....

    Glorious Performance of Keyboard!!!

  16. M.... C....

    You have a new fan here.

  17. O.... B....

    I'm new with Haken, and I came here to see the guitarist playing live at 9:46. But the video showed other player. Is there any other Haken's live video for better view on that part?

  18. T.... V....

    This is so perfect. Only thing they really really need is a chor in the backround. That would be... not describable...

  19. C.... T....

    Underrated video

  20. G.... F....

    This lacks beard!

  21. K.... ....

    Looking back on these guys and seeing where they are now. Wow. Still one of my favorite rock/metal groups.

  22. D.... ....

    whos the cute blondie ?

    D.... ....

    Thomas MacLean, he left Haken 2013

  23. m.... c....

    This performance was amazing! The entire show was mind blowing. Y’all shoulda been there!

  24. S.... ....

    To this day, still the best recorded live Haken song. Prefer this over the entire L1VE album

  25. u.... ....

    Between Haken, Riverside, Devin Townsend and Bent Knee, my current absolute favourites (hey, I know there are many great bands out there) I can only say this: it is a good time for musiclovers to be alive!!!!

  26. J.... D....

    Actuación impecable 👏👏

  27. �.... ....

    Anyone know what model bass Thomas is using here?

  28. O.... R....

    I think this is the video I look at the most on Youtube... Thanks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much guys.

    Can't wait to see you in France in 2019

  29. R.... S....

    Amazing band! Congrats from Brazil!

  30. D.... C....

    this ending is massive

  31. S.... M....

    One of the most beautiful prog songs ever written. Haken is the fucking shit man.

  32. S.... N....

    The epitome of the best.

  33. A.... R....

    Everytime I'm wheter sad or happy, I come here. This performance is my medicine for sadness and my happiness improver. Thanks for existing and making this masterpiece melody, Haken!

  34. J.... D....

    MONSTERS

  35. N.... G....

    I think this is my favorite video on youtube, I can't count how many times I've watched this live, it's gorgeous.

  36. L.... S....

    for me, best band ever.

  37. K.... A....

    this gig of theirs looks like a bunch of freshmen gathering in a basement and jamming. only to create obn of the best pieces of music.

  38. j.... m....

    Haken , Ayreon y por supuesto Steven Wilson..the best, sin lugar a dudas, una mùsica onìrica , para contemplar el interior de todos nosotros. Me ayuda a reflexionar este mundo y sus desgracias. Gracias por todo señores mùsicos.

  39. S.... M....

    beats the vocals of DT

  40. P.... B....

    Great song, perfect performance!

  41. J.... O....

    it feels like im playing some old school rpg game :D Great band
    PS now that i listen it for a second time the song definitely borrows some elements from final fantasy music.

  42. G.... S....

    finally found prog band I like

  43. A.... Y....

    Heaven is here...

  44. C.... M....

    Absoutely Hypnotic!! saw them support Mike Portnoy this year in Sydney Aus. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His voice rocks and the band were so tight!

  51. �.... �....

    god i wish i was there

  52. A.... ....

    Cada instrumento se luce, la voz es increíble, te hacen imaginar nuevos mundos, sin lugar a dudas lograran ser una de las mejores bandas del planeta. Saludos desde México.

  53. B.... D....

    I put my phone on "Do not disturb" while I listen to Discount Dream Theater.





    ... I mean Haken.

  54. j.... k....

    simply amazing

  55. U.... ....

    100 points for this awesome performance (Y)

  56. J.... E....

    smug ass pianist

  57. M.... D....

    What great musicians and what a wonderful voice!!!

  58. J.... F....

    360p oh I've missed your sweet embrace. :P

  59. �.... �....

    Awesome performance, cool dance in the beginning))
    Love your music so much
    Can’t wait for the next album

  60. D.... ....

    I seriously can't get enough of this song. So beautiful!

  61. J.... T....

    You guys should be a lot more well know. You're just amazing!

  62. C.... M....

    Ridiculously good song!!!!

  63. h.... ....

    Damn what a voice that is...

  64. G.... B....

    What happened to that awesome bass player? He is perfect.

  65. R.... E....

    this band is awesome....why can't this make it to radio play?  instead of the crap that's out there now!

  66. M.... ....

    To me Ross sounds like the perfect spiritual successor to Jon Anderson. For me this band is more like the metal Yes than another band like Dream Theater. Just the sheer epicness of their songwriting and album concepts are definitely like Yes

  67. J.... L....

    10:48 This section always give me chills... is Heaven in my ears

  68. B.... ....

    Haken = My new favorite band!!!!!!

  69. H.... D....

    Muy buena música. Felicidades y saludos desde México
    Ya tienen otro fan :D

  70. S.... N....

    This is the best music to come along since the 70 Ross is the best. See on CTTE.

  71. S.... M....

    better story than twilight

  72. M.... J....

    I have found myself singing melody of Tschaikovsky's B minor piano concerto / Dream Theater's Ilumination Theory in the very beggining of this song. Othewise it's a great song and even greater band. Glad I've found them.

  73. L.... C....

    Thomas Maclean is very underrated, alot of his work on HAKEN's older albums is brilliant

  74. t.... ....

    great band, nice songs, very very good players. yes thx please don't stop playing

  75. i.... s....

    Perfect! This song is great!!

  76. J.... N....

    Quite possibly the most beautiful rock composition of the millennium. This song is like taking mushrooms for the first time, a legitimate spiritual experience. I had genuine tears of joy the first time I heard this song.

  77. B.... E....

    Can't wait to see the band in Glasgow on 23rd March 2017................then off to see ARW on the 24th (meet & greet).........two days in PROG-HEAVEN! .............bring it on !!!

  78. P.... M....

    ...goosebumps

  79. P.... M....

    all great bands have great singers THX

  80. A.... K....

    this is definitely one of the best live performances i have watched.. Really tight.. love Haken. shame i just came to know about the band..

  81. S.... ....

    The voices are clearly overdubbed, is very stange nobody notice this. I love haken but ross is not a great live singer.

    S.... ....

    I watched Haken live one year ago and he was great.

  82. C.... S....

    Woooooow BR's?

  83. L.... N....

    So bad they're not famous as they deserve! I wish I could hit the like button a billion times!

  84. k.... ....

    I would pay a lot to see this live :o

    k.... ....

    katana_92 Believe it or not , for their first concert , I paid 21 bucks . Which is very cheap where I come from . Example , 200 for Depeche M

  85. d.... D....

    one of the best songs I've ever heard

    d.... D....

    happy new year!!

  86. L.... o....

    Stop cupping the mic, dumbass!

  87. J.... T....

    Even I can sing better than Ross.

  88. M.... K....

    Anyone who complains about Ross' live vocals, just show them this video. I'd argue that this performance makes it obvious that he deserves to be famous.

    M.... K....

    This is surely one of the best performances, but if you check out some other concerts some times he's not so in tune.

    M.... K....

    I saw Haken in Oslo this year, and all I can add is that Ross was fantastic, just like the rest of the band. One of the best live performances I have seen. The only other performance that comes close was Dream Theater on the Awake-tour...back when they were REALLY good.

  89. G.... ....

    They are acually REALLY good here. Pretty strange since they have other performances down the road in which they sound crap.

    G.... ....

    I noticed that too. This is definitely not raw though, which is probably why it sounds so amazing. Also, other videos usually have pretty bad quality in general and doesn't really pick up the overall sound that well.

  90. G.... F....

    Mother of god, this is so close to perfection. The voice, the music, this live performance is a masterpiece. By the way, this song is a masterpiece too.

  91. B.... M....

    The new generation prog metal band HAKEN!!!!!!
    Genuinely indeed.

  92. W.... S....

    9:47 I'm not impressed, Richard.

  93. F.... G....

    awesome

  94. S.... ....

    Dude! PLEASE! SOMEONE TELL ME THE SNARE RAY IS USING!

  95. R.... A....

    i love this band

  96. t.... ....

    Absolutely amazing song, vocals just superb. Blows me away every time I listen.

  97. G.... ....

    anyone know what kind of bass he is useing

    G.... ....

    Zon Sonus Custom 6

    G.... ....

    Nah man, this looks like a MTD Kingston 5-string or something. The new Bass Player, Conner Green, is playing the Zonus 6-string

  98. M.... K....

    There is so much power in this piece that it is somewhat hard to understand for me that it is entirely played by these six men. Expect an orchestra, see a rock band. Doesn't make sense.

  99. l.... ....

    the people who dared to write negative reviews for this album on a
    certain website can all burn in hell this is fucking incredible

    l.... ....

    not encyclopedia metallum of course... bunch of elitist pricks being like "this isn't trve cvlt" and whatsoever. You could say they aren't metal, but only because they don't really fit in any genre completely. But people often seem to forget that this is EXACTLY what Progressive music is about :D

    l.... ....

    as if it wasn't obvious lol. they hate on so many good albums but then they'll go and rave about some boring ass death metal band. :( fuckers
