Sorry to tell you guys who commented before, but the two guys who wrote this song are both Jewish so I don't think it was intended to have any "Christian- specific" meaning behind it. Of course you can take it to mean whatever you want personally but I don't believe that was what it meant to them.
Thank you for this information. I always liked this song, but after reading the lyrics, I was a little turned off because I too thought it sounded like a Christian message. Calling those of us who are "unsaved" zombies because we won't experience eternal life; therefore, we are essentially the walking dead. Great metaphor actually - if I did believe in damnation. Anyway since the references are specifically Old Testament, Jewish undertone in the lyrics makes sense now. Thank you.
