BAD KING BANISHES BASTARD SON. THEN, ON DEATH BED, ASKS HIM TO FIND HIS ASSASSIN. SON, AFTER SECURING PARDON FOR DISGRACED MOTHER, OFFERS A SURPRISE.

lyrics

In the age of the ice worm
Under the mountain
I was the bastard
Son of the king

My mother was banished
we knew starvation
While all my brothers
knew gluttony.

But then the great war came
my brothers were slaughtered
The king on his death bed
called out my name.

Wingless dove
Wingless dove
Wingless dove
Wingless dove

As he lay dying
I kneeled down beside him
These were his words
I'll make them quite plain:

“Son, I am dying
You must avenge me
That is your duty
To father and king.”

“When my assassin
stabbed me with his blade
Tattooed on his wrist was
A dove with no wings!”

Wingless dove
Wingless dove
Wingless dove
Wingless dove

I promised to bring him
this tatooed assassin,
if only he would
restore mother's name

This he agreed to
And made it official,
and stamped it in gold:
“decree of the king”

Then as he choked
on the poison I fed him
I showed him my tatoo...
A dove with no wings!

Wingless dove
Wingless dove
Wingless dove
Wingless dove

about

Kirk's Dik Dik Moss Beach, California

What started as a tuba/mandolin garage jam session quickly mutated into the full-blown tuba/guitar rock experience you now behold. Named after the world's smallest antelope, Bay Area music scene veterans, Kirk Lombard and Cary Kirk (Rube Waddell, Kemo Sabe), conflated their names into the mighty Kirk's Dik Dik. Don't let the size of the Madoqua fool you. There's nothing subtle about this Dik Dik ... more
