[Verse 1] In the frigid sea of black a tomb for those who never came back When Mother Nature stirred her brew the ship was unaware that the ice berg grew Nature never meant to harm those who destroy her environment 2 forces play roulette in the dark Nature's ice berg and the material ark A look-out, on deck insures everyone's pride by preventing a future wreck Still her maiden voyage will become a tragic irony - A journey forever known [Refrain] And the band played Autumn. And the band played Autumn. [Verse 2] As their paths coincide Fog draws the lines 2 forces boast their pride Nature's elements ice, fog, and water vs. Human's Opulence [Refrain] And the band played Autumn. And the band played Autumn. [Verse 3] Four compartments could have kept her afloat Ice breached six for good measure And the band played Autumn For fifteen hundred listeners Entombed in her luxury forever. [Outro] And the band played Autumn. And the band played Autumn. Lyrics adapted from "Autumn", a poem written by John Polka in 1991.
