U is for Until The End Of The World

Many of U2's songs have had a spiritual theme, haven' t they?

Until The End Of The World is sung from the perspective of Judas Iscariot in the Garden of Gethsemane, and describe a fictional conversation between Jesus and Judas. The first verse is about the Last Supper; the second about Judas identifying Jesus with a kiss; the final verse is about Judas' suicide after being overwhelmed with guilt and sadness.

It's the fourth track of their 1991 album 'Achtung Baby'. It was composed by U2, with lyrics by Bono.
