Star Chamber
by Ken Tamplin

Album: In The Witness Box

I read it in the paper, it's in the magazines
It's lifeinthe house of fame
Fortune's finger touched you it seemed
And all your dancing days
God gave you one face but you made yourself another
Was it all in the name of sensation
Yeah they raised you up just to shoot you down
Into the valley of humiliation

(Chorus)
Living in a star chamber, star chamber
Is it bad, is it dangerous or is it just
Another thriller

Accusers and users stand in line
With their blazing evidence
Vultures come from miles around
All looking for recompense
All the things we dream up have gotta be lived down
The price for glory we must regret
No matter how bright the sun is shining
Still its gotta set
Nations love to take their turn
With an iron hand in a velvet glove
With thoughts that breate, and worlds that burn
raise them up just to take them down

(Chrous)
