Tragedy in Farce Minor
Black Midi

Verse 1:
In the theater of masks, we laugh and we cry
A hero’s fall, an echo, the jester's sly sigh
The grandiose collapse, the grotesque retrace
In tragedy's embrace, we find farce’s face

Pre-Chorus:
Oh, the line is but a thread, frayed and worn
The tragic hero, by folly, reborn

Chorus:
Tragedy in farce minor, a dance so divine
The reverberations of a world misaligned
When tears become laughter, and sorrow dissolves
In the farcical mystery, existence revolves

Verse 2:
The clock strikes absurd, the hour’s unkind
In the temple of irony, meaning’s confined
Mortals play puppets, strings tangled in jest
In life's cruel comedy, we’re but a guest

Pre-Chorus:
Oh, the path is a loop, twisted and curled
A tragic farce, this performative world

Chorus:
Tragedy in farce minor, a waltz on the edge
Where the script is unwritten, ink bled at the ledge
With our hearts as the actors, and minds as the stage
In the curved mirror’s sight, we free from the cage

Bridge:
Ephemeral, eternal, the farcical stream
In the tragedy’s shadow, surrealist dream
The layers unravel, the masks all descend
In the cycle of farce, beginnings blend

Chorus:
Tragedy in farce minor, a dance so divine
The reverberations of a world misaligned
When tears become laughter, and sorrow dissolves
In the farcical mystery, existence revolves

Outro:
So laugh in the face of the tears as they fall
For in farce's reflection, we’re no tragedies at all
In this duality's dance, there's chaos and grace
Tragedy and farce, forever embrace.
