}} "'''"The Mark Has Been Made"'''" is the fourth track on the Right disc of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]].'' It is an instrumental track.

The piece consists of a dark and quiet introduction, featuring a beat with a wah effect, deep synthesizers, strings, and guitar. This section ends suddenly, quickly transitioning to a lone wah guitar melody. It is soon joined by a loud beat and percussive bass and guitar and the return of the guitar melody from the first section. This is followed by a buildup with a new distorted guitar riff, increasing in intensity until it gives way to a beatless reprise of the introduction. On the CD and presumably cassette versions of ''The Fragile,'' "The Mark Has Been Made" ends with a different melody and short fragment of the song "[[10 Miles High]]," a track cut from these whispers: I'm getting closer I'm getting closer I'm getting closer All formats but that appears after "The Mark Has Been Made" on the timevinyl versions of "The Fragile," albeit on a different side.

Coming soon"The Mark Has Been Made" made its live debut on [[2000/04/03 Los Angeles, CA|April 3, 2000]]. Backed by watery and flaming visuals from Bill Viola, the live structure remained basically the same except for the ending: the first section before the wah guitar was shortened, and the buildup following it was more concise. The last section saw the band erupting into an entirely new riff, one that seems to echo the ascending notes and rhythmic motif of "[[Somewhat Damaged]]" and "[[The Wretched]]", with Reznor wailing on top. It segued directly into "[[Wish (song)|Wish]]." Musical notation of the live ending bassline:<br>[[Image:Markhasbeenmade_end_score.png]] "The Mark Has Been Made" was performed at every show of the [[Fragility v2.0]] tour, but has not appeared since.
