"Our Driller"

Our Driller, known as 'Driller' (Japanese: ドリラー, Hepburn: 'Dorirā') in Japanese, is the anthem of Minecraftia High School. The song was commissioned by Susumu Takajima for Minecraftia, with the words written by members of Chrysalis and the music produced by Driller. The lyrics were originally written in Japanese, with it being translated into English by Driller, who is also Japanese but speaks excellent English.

Official Lyrics

Driller and members of Chrysalis have set lyrics in two different languages. The lyrics go as it follows:

English	Japanese (Hiragana)	Japanese (Romaji)
Our Driller He comes from Tokyo Mentioned through his name He comes from Kobe He will do it Right here as it is from Tokyo Give us this game from our yearly keen And dispel our bad spirits Then dispel those who attack our land And lead us not to our death And keep our land out from evil Spoken Only: Driller, our game is about to begin. Keep Minecraftia glorious and free as we play this match! Singing continued: For our nation For our power And our glory is yours Now and forever! Thank you! Thank you!	ドリラー 来たは東京 言及は名前 来たは神戸 それをやる ここにからは東京 与えゲーム来たは鋭い 払拭は悪精神 払拭は戦う精神 鉛はない死 維持を大地来たは悪 Spoken Only: ドリラーさん、ゲームは始まる！ 維持を鉱山国は栄光と無料 我々はこの試合をする！ Singing continued: ために国 ためにパワー 栄枯のあなた 今と永遠 ありがとう！ ありがとう！	Dorirā Kita wa Tōkyō Genkyū wa namae Kita wa Kōbe Sore o yaru Koko ni kara wa Tōkyō Atae gēmu kita wa surudoi Fusshoku wa waru seishin Fusshoku wa tatakau seishin Namari wa nai shi Iji o daichi kita wa aku Spoken Only: Dorirā-san, gēmu wa hajimaru! Iji o Kōzan-koku wa eikō to muryō Wareware wa kono shiai o suru! Singing continued: Tame ni kuni Tame ni pawā Eiko no anata Ima to eien Arigatou! Arigatou!

It is often noted that the English lyrics reference The Lord's Prayer from the Christian and Catholic religions. The lyrics and the music itself are placed into the public domain, freely allowing fans to produce arrangements and other derived works.

When the song plays on RATI-FM in the Island of Sally and possibly other radio stations, religious references are censored with サラダ (salad).

Performances

Our Driller is generally performed before sporting events involving Minecraftia High School themselves. Singers at events often mix the English and Japanese lyrics to represent Minecraftia's linguistic duality. There were some instances where Our Driller was performed at a non-school event, such as the 2006 Driller Engine Grand Prix, being sung by Kagami Ochiai.

The laws of Minecraftia, including Major League Quidditch, Major League Gaming, and the Driller Engine Grand Prix require that all schools perform Our Driller before any games that involve Minecraftia High School, with the away team's anthem being performed first, followed by the host team's anthem. One spleef team in Minecraftia, being the Minecraftia Endermen, decided to go a step further and perform Our Driller before every game, due to the massive number of fans from Minecraftia High School attending the matches.

Our Driller is also performed at the Start-of-Year Ceremony and all religious ceremonies at Minecraftia High School.
