Rumpelstiltskin's Vow
Dead! My son is dead!
My one and only son!
I did all I could, but it wasn't enough,
Oh! That I could black out the sun!
I can't be alone, so I've made a plan,
That girl will bear a child,
I'll give her her wish, but take that little prince,
A better plan I've never styled.
Ah! The gods hate me!
Let my gold go up in flame!
I'm always so clever, I never miss a trick,
But that wench she guessed my name.
I can't be alone, I'll make a new plan.
This time I will win.
I won't die alone, I'll get a son
Or my name isn't Rumpelstiltskin!
