Chim-el Adabal : A Ballad

Chim-el Adabal : A Ballad

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 it's mark
Down in an Ayleid Well .

Magica fused the Lorkhan blood
To crystal red and strong
Then Wild Elves cut and polished it down
To Chim-el Abadal .

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 .
