## Aciem Vocat

Background: Aciem Vocat is the official and main song of the Sirell Academy. It has been composed in 1919 to celebrate the school's third anniversary, and it having the highest attendance rate of every college in Rilchide at that time. It is sung only in Latin, but some english translations do exist.

Socii magnes, Socii fortes
Simul contemnat a morte
Venerit a collegium,
Prima patria circulum,
Cum signific bonam.
Et omnia cordibus vestis
Dum tempus ultimus restis
Resonet in tempores
Clares, noblis, agiles
Pro ad nostra zonam.
CHORUS:

Sonent mihi...
Nigrum sunt aciem vocat,
Et ad honorem Martis.
Unibus sex centena
Non contrarias partis.
Dum amissum, vicimus,
Ipsum circa Sirellia.
Nostrus est en spiritus,
Nostrus est en regia.
Pereniter satiemur
Et nos patres heritabus
Olim questus vita est
Oculi caeci est
Manus omnium tristia,
Audiri laborum nostrem
Ab omni gentilis costrem
Ad nostri haedos grant,
Ad principes veniant,
Antequos pulveria.
CHORUS.

Salut, Sanitas.
Salut, Sanitas.
Vivat Sirell.
## Vivat Umbral

Background: Vivat Umbral is the school's official rallying song. It is not as popular as the song "Sirell's Call", but it is immediately sung by the students every time they score a goal at the football championships.

Est dicitur arbor chamant Umbral, Umbral,
Quam bonum et magnum est Umbral, Umbral,
Symbolum vitae, Symbolum forte,
Mos vocamus eam Umbral, Umbral.
Multos anos sic stetus Umbral, Umbral,
Et annis stare faciat.
Venerunt ergo hommes, et gigantes,
Salutamus cunctus Umbral, Umbral.
Hommes fortis in lucta,
Eap! Custodiat, servit.
Militibus sine dispucta,
Eup! Perdere et vincit,
Vivat Umbral! Non agere puella.
Vivat Umbral! Aut pereat umquambunt.
Clamorat, victoria nobis est.
Clamorat, gloria nobis est.
Et in fine, glorificatus fuerit:
Vivat Umbral! Vivat Umbral! Vivat Umbral!
S-I-R-E-L-L, Sirell,
Sirellia gaudeant. Nunc, nunc!
S-I-R-E-L-L, Sirell,
Sirellia prod avant. Nunc, nunc!
Tympana migrat, Cymbalis collat,
Vivat, Vivat, Umbral, Vivat! Vivat!
## Sirell's Call

Background: Sirell's Call is believed to be the oldest english song in the college. It was written by Nick Boreal, and composed by Day Hummings in 1922. It was sung at the victory of the Sirell Cannonboys at the Technical Schools Athletic Association Football Championship, in 2005, by 17,000 people. Ireland adopted the song in the 1990's for their rugby team

Come the day, and come the hour,
Come the power and the glory,
We are proud to answer
Our glorious call,
For Sirell, our college that withstands us.
Sirell, Sirell,
Together standing tall, (yes, tall)
Shoulder, to Shoulder,
We will answer Sirell's call.
On with laurels to our college,
On with daisies to our warriors.
And on with roses
For those who fell
For Sirell, our college that withstands us.
All we're cautioned, strong, and sturdy,
Ready for the call of duty,
And when any ponders
They sure can will
For Sirell, our college that withstands us.
Come, let's raise our voice together
In one chorus that will sound high
Through the trees of Albourne
To Spanish fields,
For Sirell, our college that withstands us.
Voices now we're growing older,
Gray our hair is now out burning,
But the day will come
That the Seraphim
Takes all our bodies back to Sirell.
Sirell, Sirell,
Together, standing tall, (yes, tall)
Shoulder, to shoulder,
We will answer, We will answer,
We will answer Sirel's call.
## Sirellian Wogs Song

Background: The Sirellian Wogs Song is the official song of the English-Guyanan Sirellians Club, the Sirell Rugby Association Club, Old Sirellian Cannonboys RUFC and the Ex-Association of Sirellian Students. It was composed by Shell Ustracht in 1923, and written by Charles Neckington Eboalth in 1920, entitled, A Poem for the Sirell College.

Once upon the great trees, a man stood,
With over twenty victors on his should',
And founded a college to stay and study
And defend themselves from anything that's naughty.
In Amazonia's heart, and Saramacca's ear,
A group of visitors from all the world round,
Talled out their hearts to our college renown,
Our great home that we all call Sirell.
Then hurrah, hurrah, for old Sirell,
Loud let his stories and altar tell,
Then hurrah, hurrah, for old Sirell,
The college of our fathers.
And hooray, hooray, for old Sirell,
When they come, you must yell, but yell like (boom!)
We'll all come down to old Sirell,
'Till all the times can bother.
And then this group, all falled down in soil
Of green, verdant forest, air and good toil
Was then booked down in the history
Of such amazing, beautiful victory
That even the rivers cried of joy,
Even the caverns all godly rejoiced,
To honor the college, every girls and boys,
The first proud memory of old Sirell.
Then hurrah, hurrah for old Sirell...
Do not be feared, our greatest past,
Will light the future with a big cast,
Of poets, culture, and every piece
Of great infantry, of those who ceased
For our nation strong, smiling and cheered,
Holding the Dragon emblem on our shield,
Walking around through these greener fields,
But never to forget our old Sirell.
Then hurrah, hurrah for old Sirell...
## Down the Grass

Background: Down The Grass, or Sirell's Rallying Song is a song composed by James Hottingham and Bucknell Radish in 1953, due to the other fight song, Vivat Umbral, considered too epidemically incorrect for the college's rules at that time. It is sung by the Sirellian Cannonboys Hockey Club every time they win a game, and a cover by the folk metal-breakcore band Exciovius Alert Ultra, made a cover in it in 1998 for the Butler Coat-of-Arms.

Oh, when you see the old Sirellians, on the game.
Follow long! Follow long! Follow long!
Oh, when they pass the ball and push them onto fame,
Follow long! Follow long! Follow long!
We know that this team has the real stuff,
We'll show the world that those fools have the guts,
A better story that the days forgot,
Follow long! Follow long! Follow long!
As we go down the grass,
Our loyalty will sail,
In every kick we do.
And when we score some more,
We'll show them who's the best
In the challenge overdue.
For we will hold the banner of Sirell on high,
And all our maids will see the victors fly,
We're up to win,
We've gooder grin,
We go down the grass for Sirell.
## Fight for Sirell

Background: "Fight For Sirell" is considered the team song of the Sirell Cannonboys in the 1960's, when the song, Vivat Umbral, was not recognized by many of the students, on which they were inmigrants from Venezuela. The inmigration boom in Port Orinoch had been struggling to death, and they had no choice to change the fight song to something more equally correct. It has been sung for the first time at the Mackennon Theatre in the suburb of Dowells, 32 km from the school, and it was written by John Nuckels. It was composed by Jason Bath, on which they called it Butz. Both of them were former alumni of the college.

March along, you Sirellians,
For the honor of old Sirell.
March along, you Sirellians,
For the honor of old Sirell.
This is the chant that we adore,
For our college, ring the bell.
March, along, you Sirellians,
For the honor of old Sirell.
Fight, Fight, Fight, for Sirell
Fight on to Victory.
Spirit all the way,
Laurels to the fray,
For our varsity.
Sing, Sing, Sing, for Sirell,
College strong and true,
Go, Go, For our Sirell,
Win, Win, for our Sirell
And the woods in the avenue.
March with honor, majesty,
We will beat them with no chance.
March with, honor, majesty,
We will beat them with no chance.
Tell the story of our heroes
Who over their graves have danced,
March with, honor, victory,
We will beat them with no chance.
Give them a cheer, give them a cheer, give them a sis-boom-bah,
We're proud to be of Sirelll all strong
Give them a cheer, give them a cheer, give them a sis-boom-bah,
Another year of champions we'll belong.
Because it's S-I-R-E-L-L, Sirell, Go!
