about

----------
It is done.

And yet… meanwhile…. a noisy room continues to manifest into a bustling scene. A court room, filling up with the shades of his former life; some present and familiar, others shrouded in a blackness.

The last thing Henry remembered was dying, quite peacefully, maybe a little before his time at a mere 48 years old, but calmly enough and without too much fuss, alone in that small room, before winding down into a darkness deeper than he could process. And yet suddenly, it seems, he is arrived, here….

Indeed, our man Henry was familiar the concepts of Heaven and Hell, but this was neither. Just some drab room.
And sure, he has read enough and heard tell of the judgments that follow mortal expiration --- but his present confusion is firmly rooted in the fact that he never expected to experience it!
Great scales rest in balance upon the imposing and otherwise desolate table stretching across from the wizened figure of Peter Saint QC. It would appear that Henry is to be tried!

With a swing of the gavel and a thunderous BANG, the room is brought to order.
----------

lyrics

“Silence in Court!”

“I met God but he was not what you might expect
He was mercifully kind but I was still dead”
Hey boy we're not through with you --- judgement's come around

“If I recall, my name was Henry, as lowly-born as anyone can be
This starting to scare me now. Hey, what's this all about?”
Hey boy we're not through with you --- judgement's come around

Oh these waves of sorrow!
Hey boy we're not through with you --- judgement's come around

“I wound up a court room so dreadfully plain
Dragged out like a criminal and asked to explain
The decisions I made and how I lived life
And it’s all rushing back to me”; “(not all of it’s nice)”
Hey boy we're not through with you --- judgement's come around

"Order! Order, you lifeless rabble"
Bang! Down came his mighty gavel

Hey boy we're not through with you --- judgement's come around
Hey boy we're not through with you --- judgement's come to town

Hey boy we're not through with you --- judgement's come around
