Gold Was Never Free | Rumpelstiltskin Song | Villain POV

🧵 Everyone loves a miracle. Until it comes to collect. “Gold Was Never Free” is an original dark fairy tale song told from Rumpelstiltskin’s point of view. A necklace. A ring. One thing more. She calls it cruelty. He calls it a bargain. He never promised mercy. _______________________________ 🧵 Lyrics Your father lied Your king locked the door Straw to the rafters One night to live You gave me a necklace Then gave me a ring No sleight of hand Each time we agreed I gave what you wanted No more, no less Mercy was never Part of the deal Useful in the spinning room A monster at your door When straw was all you had You never called me cruel First a necklace, then a ring And then one thing more Funny how the bargain changes With a child in your arms I kept my word Did you keep yours? Crown on your head A year gone by You offered treasure What use was gold? By our bargain The child was mine Still, I offered You one way out Three days I gave you Three nights to try More than I ever Promised you Useful in the spinning room A monster at your door When straw was all you had You never called me cruel First a necklace, then a ring And then one thing more Funny how the bargain changes With a child in your arms I kept my word Did you keep yours? You sent them searching Deep through the wood They heard me singing Beside the fire You brought my name back Warm in your mouth You never guessed it Yet you made it yours Useful in the spinning room A monster at your door You took every miracle Then damned the hand that spun Gold for him, a crown for you Still, you kept the child And somehow I'm the monster For coming to collect I kept my word Did you keep yours? Tell the tale However you will I kept my word Did you?
