The Wild Cats - The Hymn of Peter the Painter

THE HYMN OF PETER THE PAINTER
1. Verse
In London's dark and narrow streets,
Where shadows danced and fear would meet,
An outlaw rose, his name unclear,
A painter bold who knew no fear.
From Sidney Street the shots did sound,
A rebel's stand, his name renowned.
A phantom figure, swift as flame,
Peter the Painter, his fleeting fame.
Chorus
Peter the Painter, who can say,
If you lived or faded away?
A ghost, a man, a name of dread,
A hero's myth or villain's tread.
2. Verse
Latvian sons with fire in vein,
Fought Tsarist chains and tyranny's reign.
Anarchist dreams in exile grew,
And London's East their refuge too.
The siege began, the walls ablaze,
The law's tight grip, the final phase.
Yet Peter vanished into lore,
A whisper lost forevermore.
3. Verse
Some claim you held the Mauser tight,
A shadow wreathed in morning light.
Some say you never even came,
A phantom drawn by legend’s flame.
In Riga’s alleys, whispers tell,
Of comrades lost and those who fell.
Yet still your story stirs the air,
A specter roaming everywhere.
4. Verse
The tower blocks bear now your name,
Though blood was shed to stoke your fame.
Was it for justice, greed, or pride,
That you and yours did fight and hide?
The truth may rest in shadowed past,
But legends forged are built to last.
And so your tale we sing today,
Peter the Painter, come what may.
