I try to rise in pride, I want to radiate
walk on water and ride the light
I try to break the chains, I want to penetrate
cross the borders and drink the oceans
I need to burn my fuel, I want to detonate
melt the sun and drain the sources
I need to waste my strength, I want to escalate
turn the tide and conquer the stars
Given velocity and gasoline
electricity and adrenaline
I want to be super-luminal
I have to go ahead, I want to elevate
rise above and find the path,
I have to look beyond, I want to perforate
reach behind and take it back
I must spread my wings, I want to scintillate
bind myself and break away,
I must be born again, I want to celebrate
stop the clock and never return
walk on water and ride the light
I try to break the chains, I want to penetrate
cross the borders and drink the oceans
melt the sun and drain the sources
I need to waste my strength, I want to escalate
turn the tide and conquer the stars
electricity and adrenaline
I want to be super-luminal
rise above and find the path,
I have to look beyond, I want to perforate
reach behind and take it back
bind myself and break away,
I must be born again, I want to celebrate
stop the clock and never return

As so many of Covenant's song, this song is about breaking conventions, to rise above the normal, to shine, albeit briefly, in the eyes of everyone.
Luminal speaks to me of the hidden potential within us all, strands of dormant dna waiting to be unlocked, placed there by the annunaki ... In the words of covenant describing themselfs in an early interview :"Chaos sumerians from outer space"
