Because it can't be Gretel. The end of the song is implied to be the events of Chrono Story, and that's when Irina decides to get revenge on Elluka. She'd have no motive to try to resurrect Seth. There's definitely more than one Rin character kicking around in OSS' time - Marina Lucif's children, for instance, are almost certainly a Rin and Len given that they're Project MA results and Riliane and Allen's ancestors. In fact, given that the Lucif name persisted albeit in altered form, they're probably descendants of the boy, which means it didn't have to be the girl. That frees her up to be used by Irina.

Also, I've mentioned this before since I was sure it would be what Barisol's Child would be about, but the fifth Project MA ended with the birth of a single child. Could be a Rin as well, assuming the child was a girl.

That assumes that this kid survived the Levianta Catastrophe, but it's almost certain that Marina Lucif's children both did - at least one of them definitely did, and if one did, both probably did.

Both of these children would be very young, probably no older than 8 at the most, which... oddly makes sense to me, since it's so soon after Irina's rebirth. It seems pretty logical that her first mediums were young and easy to take over - she's learning how to do it.

Even then, it could be yet another character that hadn't been mentioned at all before and had no significance other than being Irina's medium, like the guy she used as AB-CIR. Seems unlikely that there'd be so many Rins in such a short amount of time though.

As for a motive to ressurect Seth... well, what says she's trying to ressurect him? She's trying to create the person who created her. It might be that "creating the person who created her" is a way of saying what we know Irina's goal to be... She's trying to create more HERs. Seth was one, and to create more would be, sort of, like creating him. That's a reach, though, I'll admit.
