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, A 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.
