==Performed liveLive==Following 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.

Sanctified has During the Nights Of Nothing shows, the breakdown of the song included the lyric, "please, God, save me." Elements of "[[Please]]" and "[[Sunspots]]" have been a rarely played song since interpolated into the Pretty Hate Machine toursreworked live 2013-present version.

Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispelldispel

Well she knows exactly what i I can't resist

The final two lines are only present in the Pretty Hate Machine lyrics booklet. The 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): Dear mom and dad, This is the hardest letter I've ever had to write. I'd hoped somehow to get out of this quickly 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. <BR>{{succession box | title=[[Pretty Hate Machine#Track Listing|Pretty Hate Machine]] | before= [[Down in It (song)|Down In It]] | after= [[Something I Can Never Have]]| track= 4}}[[Category:NIN Songs]][[Category:Songs With Unused Lyrics]]
