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 its mark
 Down in an Ayleid Well.
 Magicka 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 Man,
 Akatosh gave the stone
 To Saint Alesh in 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.
