I mean, they get those lyrics from an official source I should say (i.e. U2), so I think it is quite possible that the original sentence once was "till the pentacost".

I hope it's much better live. Cause it's not in the same league as LIB in it's current form.

For you. For fucks sake, will you drop this now and leave people to be able to discuss the song and their own opinions (which do not have to be the same as yours). We get it. You don't think it's as good as it could have been. Many people disagree with you. Drop it.
And by the way, you can also leave this Aussie thing as well as I know at least one who thinks that 'One' is a pile of turgid garbage.
OPinions. Make the world go round. You've given yours, we get it. Stop. Now.

I'm just presenting an alternative view of the song , certainly it's much more restrained than saying the song is a masterpiece.

The fact that some people think this song is better than LIB, is either down to MoS being new and shiny, or that they've listened to LIB so many times that they've got bored of it.
Edited too
We should all have the same opinion, makes these discussions way easier

And I would argue that someone simply stating that they believe the song to be a masterpiece is much more restrained than the multitudinous posts droning on about interchangeable factoids that you effectuate.
People are allowed to postulate that the song is, to them, a masterpiece. Why can you not accept that?

Firstly no one actually rebutted my arguments, they just keep going on and on about how great the song is (seem like they've forgotten/ got bored of all the old u2 ballads).
Relying solely on opinion thing is ridiculous anyway as I've said before by that token I could argue that my toenail clippings are a work of art.
There are objective reasons why MoS is not a masterpiece. Though people may think it is subjectively.
