Chamber, chambers or the chamber may refer to:
The Star Chamber (Latin: Camera stellata) was an English court of law which sat at the royal Palace of Westminster, from the late 15th century to the mid-17th century (c. 1641), and was composed of Privy Councillors and common-law judges, to supplement the judicial activities of the common-law and equity courts in civil and criminal matters. The Star Chamber was established to ensure the fair enforcement of laws against socially and politically prominent people so powerful that ordinary courts would likely hesitate to convict them of their crimes.
Court sessions were held in public, although witnesses and defendants were examined in secret. Defendants were given prior notice of the charges against them, and had the right to be represented by an attorney. Evidence was presented in writing. Over time, the Star Chamber evolved into a political weapon, a symbol of the misuse and abuse of power by the English monarchy and its courts.
In modern usage, legal or administrative bodies with strict, arbitrary rulings and secretive proceedings are sometimes called, metaphorically or poetically, star chambers. This is a pejorative term and intended to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the proceedings. 'Star Chamber' can also be used in its original meaning, for instance when a politician uses parliamentary privilege to attack a powerful organisation or person. The inherent lack of objectivity of politically motivated charges has led to substantial reforms in English law in most jurisdictions since the 17th century.

It all became her
And I´m so shameless in my
Individuality
Delusion
Confusion
Run but you don´t know where
Actually
These dramatics are boring
Ain´t there any new parts to play
This hangover is nothing
And I could handle a bit more pain
This one like the last one
This thought like all the rest
This drink like the last drink
And the next and thenext…
Maybe first we die
