==About==Sanctified is the fourth song from the [[Pretty Hate MachineTrent Reznor]] album. It's best known for it's very tribal rhythms and distinctive bassline, though the original version of has said the song was apparently much brighter. A darker atmosphere was given to it for the [[Pretty Hate Machine]] version.

==Versions====Versions=Sanctified===The album version of the song begins with a programmed drum beat featuring prominent toms and atmospheric sounds created by guitar. The body of the song is dominated by a slap bassline atop this atmosphere and drumloop, joined by strumming guitars for the chorus. The bridge features Gregorian chant [[samples]] and dialog from the film ''Midnight Express'', though the film sample was excised on the 2010 remaster of ''Pretty Hate Machine''. The end of the song is comprised of a synth pad and a guitar drone (created by [[Richard Patrick]]), accompanied by another sample, which lower in pitch and winds down, segueing directly into "[[Something I Can Never Have]]." On the 2010 remastered vinyl edition, this song ends the first side; as such, the ending sample is removed, and the descending synth pad fades out.

===LyricsSanctified (''Purest Feeling'')===The second track on ''Purest Feeling'', the song begins with a shouted four count with drumsticks before hitting into the song. Though the beats and bassline are identical, the song is played slightly faster and all the effects are at a higher octave, giving it a much brighter mood. The samples in the song are also much louder than in the version on ''Pretty Hate Machine.''
Sample in the bridge: Old Man: "He wants to give ita try right now. Give it a try right now!" *car starts* Old Man: "Doesn's still getting worse after everything it that feel good? Now you've triedre ready to go! Hey there? what if i found a way Ready to wash it all asideget in there and get the job done! Live is great! Life is terrific! what if she touches with those fingertips as the words spill out like fire from her lips Thank you God, for another wonderful day."
if she says come inside i'll come inside for her if she says give it all i'll give everything to herThere is also one minor lyrical change in the last couple of lines.
i "I am justified i purified! I am purifiedterrified i I am sanctified ... inside you!"
Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispell as she walks me through His screams fade off into the nicest parts of hell (dance of hell) i still dream of lips i never should have kissed well she knows exactly what i can't resistguitar drones which contain more samples, which segue directly into the next song on the album, "[[Maybe Just Once]]".
if she says come inside i===Sanctified (Demo)===Present on the 'll come inside for her if she says give 'Demos and Remixes'' bootleg, it all ihas the same tone as the ''Pretty Hate Machine'' version while including some alternate samples, including a shortened version of the "Old Man" sample in the bridge, a few odd noises not present in the final version (such as the "reeeeeeeeeee" at the beginning of the bridge), the alternate lyric at the end, and an odd sample at the very end which concludes with a man saying, "You'll give everything see your life begin to herchange."
i am justified==Live== i am purified i am sanctified inside youFollowing the [[Pretty Hate Machine Tour]], "Sanctified" was not played again until the [[Dissonance]] tour, where it featured heavily. After the [[Nights Of Nothing Tour]], the song was not played for 17 years until it was resurrected and played (as an altered version) throughout the [[NIN 2013-2014]] tour. During the [[Tension 2013 Tour]], it featured backing vocals by [[Lisa Fischer]] and [[Sharlotte Gibson]]. Beginning with the 2014 tour, the song was played to a backing track so [[Ilan Rubin]] could play bass.
''During the Nights Of Nothing shows, the breakdown of the song included the lyric, "dear mom and dadplease, God, this is the hardest letter i've ever had to writesave me. i'd hoped somehow to get out " Elements of this quickly so that you'd never "[[Please]]" and "[[Sunspots]]" have to know about itbeen interpolated into the reworked live 2013-present version. Namely, but that the line "just isn't possible like now. i don't know what" from the former being whispered at various intervals, and the latter's going to happen, but what can i say to you? will 'i'm sorry' make a difference? will it ease synthesizer lead (or "blender sound") featured towards the pain? end of the shame you must be feeling.song.. forgive me... please."''
==Lyrics== It's still getting worse after everything I've tried What if I found a way to wash it all aside What if she touches with those fingertips As the words spill out like fire from her lips If she says come inside I'll come inside for her If she says give it all I'll give everything to her I am justified I am purified I am sanctified Inside you Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel As she walks me through the nicest parts of Hell I still dream of lips I never should have kissed iWell she knows exactly what I can't resist If she says come inside I'll come inside for her If she says give it all I'll give everything to her I am justified I am purified I am sanctified Inside you I'm just caught up in another of her spells well, sheShe's turning me into someone else every Every day i I hope and pray that this will end but But when i I can i I do it all again If she says come inside I'll come inside for her If she says give it all I'll give everything to her I am justified I am purified I am sanctified Inside you As surely as the blade's course is run Maybe my kingdom's finally come
and if she says come inside i'll come inside for her and if she says give it all i'll give everything to herThe final two lines are only present in the Pretty Hate Machine lyrics booklet.
i am justifiedThe following audio sample from the 1978 film ''[[wp:Midnight Express (film)|Midnight Express]]'' can be heard at 3 minutes 19 seconds on the original studio version (but not the 2010 remaster): i am purified Dear mom and dad, i am sanctified This is the hardest letter I've ever had to write. I'd hoped somehow to get out of this quickly inside so that you'd never have to know about it, but that just isn't possible now. I don't know what's going to happen, but what can I say to you? Will "I'm sorry" make a difference? Will it ease the pain? The shame you must be feeling? Forgive me, please.
