}}'''"The Day The World Went Away"''' is the second track on the Left disc of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]].'' It was released as a single preceding the release of ''The Fragile'' and received the designation of Halo 13.
When performed live, the second half of the song is extended after the verse and the guitar progression. This extension seems to be modeled after the Quiet mix, but features a tom-driven drum rhythm as well as the guitar doubling the bassline in a higher register. This new section builds in intensity as melodic synthesizers and distorted guitars welcome in the wordless group vocals, eventually becoming more bombastic and louder until ending with two power chords. An example of this altered structure can be found on ''And All That Could Have Been''.
Since the [[Live NIN 2013-2014]] tour, the album version has been played live.
