The Autumn Wind is a poem written by Steve Sabol (son of Ed Sabol) describing autumn weather. It is synonymous with the Oakland Raiders,and is often heard at games. Narrated by John Facenda, this 1974 production has been dubbed "The Battle Hymn of the Raider Nation." When Raider owner Al Davis heard The Autumn Wind for the first time, he was silent for a second before telling Ed Sabol that he loved it, and it epitomized everything the Raiders stand for. "The Autumn Wind is a pirate Blustering in from sea With a rollicking song he sweeps along swaggering boisterously His face is weather beaten He wears a hooded sash With his silver hat about his head And a bristly black moustache He growls as he storms the country A villain big and bold And the trees all shake and quiver and quake As he robs them of their gold The Autumn wind is a Raider Pillaging just for fun He'll knock you 'round and upside down And laugh when he's conquered and won."
