When Akatosh slew Lorkhan
he ripped his heart right out
He hurled it across Tamriel
and the heart was heard to shout

Red Diamond, Red Diamond
The heart and soul of men

Red Diamond, Red Diamond 
Protect us 'till the end

The laughing heart sprayed blood afar
gout on Cyrod fell

And like a dart shot to his mark
Down in an Alyeid well

Magica fused the lorkhan blood
to crystal red and strong
Then wild elves cut and polished it down
to Chim el-adabal

Red Diamond, Red Diamond
the heart and soul of men

Red Diamond, Red diamond
protect us 'till the end

When Elves lost Nirn to men 
Akatosh gave the stone
To Saint Alesh
Token of her right to sit the throne

Red Diamond, Red Diamond
the heart and soul of men

Red Diamond, Red Diamond
protect us 'till the end
