==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.

*===Sanctified (Demo - ''Purest Feeling Version'')===*Sanctified (Demo)*SanctifiedThe 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''.

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 There is also one minor lyrical change in the words spill out like fire from her lipslast couple of lines.

"I am purified! I am terrified if she says come inside i'll come I am sanctified... inside for her if she says give it all i'll give everything to heryou!"

i am justified i am purified i am sanctified inside His screams fade off into the guitar drones which contain more samples, which segue directly into the next song on the album, "[[Maybe Just Once]]". One of the samples is a man saying, "Hold on to hope even when it's hopeless, and you'll see your life begin to change." This is followed by the beginning of the sample (from the movie ''Diner'') that continues into "Maybe Just Once".

Heaven===Sanctified (Demo - ''Demos and Remixes's just a rumor she'll dispell)=== Present on the ''Demos and Remixes'' bootleg, it has the same tone as she walks me through the nicest parts ''Pretty Hate Machine'' version while including some alternate samples, including a shortened version of hell the "Old Man" sample in the bridge, a few odd noises not present in the final version (dance such as the "reeeeeeeeeee" at the beginning of hellthe bridge) i still dream of lips i never should have kissed well she knows exactly what i can, the alternate lyric at the end, and a sample at the very end with a man saying, "Hold on to hope even when it's hopeless, and you't resistll see your life begin to change."

if she says come inside i===Sanctified (Demo - Martin Atkins tape)==='''''Running Time: 5:33''''ll come inside for her if she says give it all i'll give everything to her

===Sanctified (''"dear mom and dad, this is the hardest letter iLive 2013 EP've ever had to write. i'd hoped somehow to get)=== out of this quickly so that you'd never have to know about itRecorded live at [[2013/08/02 Chicago, but that just isn't possible nowIL|Lollapalooza Festival 2013]]. 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."''

i'm just caught up in another of her spells==Live== wellFollowing the [[Pretty Hate Machine Tour]], she's turning me into someone else every day i hope "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 pray that this will end but when i can i do played (as an altered version) throughout the [[NIN 2013-2014]] tour. During the [[Tension 2013 Tour]], it all againfeatured 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, "please, God, save me." Elements of "[[Please]]" and if she says come inside i'll come inside for her "[[Sunspots]]" have been interpolated into the reworked live 2013-present version. Namely, the line "just like now" from the former being whispered at various intervals, and if she says give it all ithe latter'll give everything to hers synthesizer lead (or "blender sound") featured towards the end of the song.

==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 Well she knows exactly what I can't resist If she says come inside I'll come inside for her i If she says give it all I'll give everything to her I am justified i I am purified i I am sanctified Inside you I'm just caught up in another of her spells She's turning me into someone else Every day I hope and pray that this will end But when I can 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
