This is the original album version. Beginning with a glitchy drum beat atypical of Year Zero, the guitar, synth and bass follow with a danceable melody followed subsequently by [[Trent Reznor]]'s vocals above the music. After Reznor declares "Your time is tick-tick-ticking away" for the first time in the song, the guitar plays a more distorted and 'industrial' sounding riff than the main riff. Reznor's final lyrical declaration continues repetitiously until the end, where he whispers "ticking away" faintly only known version for the music to be replaced by a short, quiet burst of static which ultimately leads into the following song, "[[God Given]]". ===The Warning (Instrumental)===This unmastered vocal-less mix was released by Reznor through his [[remix.nin.com]] account. ===The Warning: Real World==='''''Running Time: 3:43''''' This remix featuring African drummer Doudou N'Diaye Rose is on ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D.''

Some say it was 's a sign

We You felt it from inside

"You've become a virus That's tinkling Killing off this his host We've been watching you with all of our eyes

We heard a her cry We've have come to intervene

And Or we will wipe this place clean"
