==Versions==
===Terrible Lie===
The second track from the album [[Pretty Hate Machine]], it is perhaps the most industrial selection on the record. It's intro beat bleeds in from the outro of [[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]] and pops up occassionally throughout the song. The song is almost entirely synthetic and is extremely layered when compared to most of the other songs on the album.
Present on the [[Head Like A Hole (halo)|Head Like A Hole]] single, this version is notably more remixed than the other version, lacking the normal intro and is much more upbeat as well with different arrangements of the main parts of the song, though the flow of the song remains intact. The background noises are much clearer as well and the song is noticably extended in this version. Some of the lyrics (such as the distorted "Hey God!") are much clearer in this version as well. It also has a different ending as well.

''I have not seen this performance, if anyone has and would like to describe it, I would be very appriciative.'' --[[User:GrayscaleRain|GrayscaleRain]] 22:42, 25 February 2007 (PST)
===Live, from ''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]]''===
The first song on both the CD and DVD/VHS versions of And All That Could Have Been, the song takes place with just the multi colored set lighting on and doesn't have any special motif to it. During certain shots, one can see the sunset through the opening at the top of the stadium. Trent can be seen wearing cornstarch makeup and mascara during this song, though most of it doesn't last through [[March of the Pigs (song)|March of the Pigs]] (track 4). The song starts out with the recorded [[The New Flesh]]/[[Pinion]] intro typical to the [[Fragility 2.0]] shows, though this is entirely cut off along with the actual intro to the song on the CD version. The song ends with Trent screaming "You fucking promised me!" before seguing directly into [[Sin (song)|Sin]].
