As the guitar, bassline and drums fade in, Reznor yells over top, eventually joined by loud crowd loops. The entirety of this 3/4 coda fades out and filters down the low and mid frequencies, the high pitches stopping suddenly. ===The New Flesh (Instrumental)===Released on ''The Fragile: Deviations 1''.
