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
