Lyrics
The Pact
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
An obstinate creature of greed
Willing to corrupt the innocuous maiden
Alas, the goal is not gold in heaps
But perverse suffering
Exploiting horrid despair and want
Ascending creaking stairs just to see
Hopeless enslavement to serve the king
Life's dwindling and dissolving
Offered a pact to aid her in need
First night... Second... Jewelry for him
Third night approaching... The child within
A poisonous deed
For soul, tormenting
A deed too vile, too high a price
Must get out, outwit the imp
Persuade him to reason with us
Or else, she must pay for those sins
There remains but a single means
To uncover secrets hidden therein
The abomination does have a name
Go and discover, then bring it to him
In the damp embrace of slimy circled stones
Of old times long gone
Is it an imp
Demented features
Oh how she wishes to not know
These creatures
Offered a pact to aid her in need
First night... Second... Jewelry for him
Third night approaching... The child within
A poisonous deed
For soul, tormenting
One final act of degradation
It yearns to take them all down with him
Into a black void in the earth
Fingers grabbing, flesh tearing
As the curtain falls it gets quiet
The ghastly apparition speaks for himself
"I murdered them all. And yes, my true name was rumpelstiltskin!"
In the damp embrace of slimy circled stones
Of old times long gone
Attaining glimpses of horrid salvation
Could this be rescue from deprivation
Offered a pact
