Nine Inch Nails - The Beginning of the End

“The Beginning Of The End” is the second track on the 2007 release Year Zero.

Miscellaneous

  • The phrase “The Beginning of the End” appears on the Another Version Of The Truth website when the original image is erased by being clicked and dragged.
  • Several fans have commented on similarities between this song and Marilyn Manson’s “Mister Superstar,” which was produced and featured guitar by Trent Reznor.
  • A small group of west Texans found the website The Beginning of the End; www.thebeginningoftheend.org. Interesting to note that one person was researching the pricing of oil that occurs in Midland, Texas. 
    Down on your knees, you'll be left behind
    This is the beginning 
    Watch what you think, they can read your mind
    This is the beginning
    I got my mark, see it in my eyes
    This is the beginning
    My reflection I don't recognize
    This is the beginning
   
    We think we climb so high
    All up the backs we've condemned
    We face our consequence
    This is the beginning of the end
    
    You wait your turn, you'll be last in line
    This is the beginning
    Get out the way, 'cause I'm getting mine
    This is the beginning
    God helps the ones that can help themselves
    This is the beginning
    May be too late as far as I can tell
    This is the beginning
    
    We think we've come so far 
    On all our lies we depend 
    We face our consequence 
    This is the beginning of the end

In the actual recording, the second line of the first chorus is changed:

    Up all the backs we've condemned

The third line of the last chorus is also changed:

    Facing our consequence
