THE SCENE: At a King's Cross simulacrum, HARRY has a musical Near-
Deathly Experience.

HARRY:
In the Forest I met up with Voldemort
Who could never be described as anti-war. 
And he cried aloud,
"Now, I shall strike you dead!"
So he said
.

This can't be death `cause I am so alive
No pain, no headache, no stars
This can't be death, the Boy Who Lived revives,
AK'd this time with no scar.
It seems that time stands still
But I'm afresh
I've got my flesh, blood and bone.
This can't be death `cause I am so alive
And, hey, I have 20-20 eyes.

Enter DUMBLEDORE

DUMBLEDORE:
We can see an ugly baby on the floor
I'm afraid it symbolizes Voldemort
Though it seem in-
-Decent just to let it yelp
You can't help
.. 

This isn't death because you're still alive
So brave, so noble, so true
This isn't death, forgive what I'd contrived
To keep my secrets from you.
Your blood in Voldy's veins
Lets you draw breath
Keeping you tethered to life

HARRY & DUMBLEDORE
This isn't death because I'm/you're still alive
And it's the Dark Lord's turn to demise
..
