Shining Time was recorded and mixed back in 2007-2008 for our debut album Revival. The song was originally intended to be used as a bonus song of Japan import or as the B-side of a single. Neither of those things happened, so it remained dormant for years somewhere in the depths of hard drives.
The lyric video is based on gig and other photos in Adamantra camp from 2006-2009.
The song is the first in a trilogy based on the adventures of King Arthur, and the sequel will be released later in May.

Lyrics:
In the remotest land
The land was divided and without a law
The land without a king
Searching the crown and the ring
Lady of the lake rises to majesty
Just one moment in time
One day a certain stranger comes to a land and until now
No one has seen him before nowhere to be found
I am an alien, but soon they’ll know my name
I arrive from somewhere far beyond
The shining time will be my fate till kingdom come
My only chance to make my name be carved in stone
And then I shall return again, again, again
He draws the sword from the stone
He’ll be the king of the minstrel’s song
(1st guitar solo: Tommi Ahtila)
(2nd guitar solo: Panu Kiskola)
I feel the power of the sword
I’m the man who would be king
I sit on the noble throne with the crown and the ring
In the name of God, St. Michael and St. George
I give the right to bear arms and power to dispense justice
The shining time will be my fate till kingdom come
My only chance to make my name be carved in stone
And then I shall return to castle ushered by ceremony
With my scepter in my coronation – Floral Tributes
I will make history and achieve pride and glory
