I just don't know how we know for sure that it's Mercy. He doesn't say "Mercy" in the song.

I don't know how we know it's called Mercy either.

his singing on "mercy" is awesome. i do wish they'd do a quick-and-dirty album like this, with long, dark songs that are unpolished and not quite as ambitious and polished as that gorgeous piece of sheer wonderfulness that we call "original of the species."
Rafiennes said:I think we're pretty sure it's Mercy for a two major reasons:
1. Blender Magazine quoted as saying … "Mercy", a six and a half minute outpouring of U2 at its most uninhibitedly U2-ish.….becomes what Bono immediately anoints “the best B-side you’ve ever heard.”
2. BLENDER also quoted Bono talking to Edge and said he was quoting a line from a new song by saying, "Hey Edge, I've been born again and again and again..."
New song. ‘Born again and again”. 6 ½ minutes.
Ergo…it is ‘Mercy’.
Thank you. Good night. Don’t forget to tip your waitress.
