I view it as a song against the evil ways of this world that lie to the humans through the most powerful way possible: the government. "Spreading it's web on the human race," well what form of power tells everyone everything and controls the law book? That's the way I see it. In the end times, the government will be nothing but tyrannical as prophecied in the Book of Revalations. The zombies are the mindless humans that unwillingly follow evil government in the end times. I also think the song's an apocalypse style warning to get your life straightened out and to never let the devil get to your mind. Verses 4 and 6 tell about "the evil ways coming to get him," which would be killing him for his religion and standing up for God. The song clearly draws from zombie apocalypse stories. Whether the song is about the government or not, it's clearly against the devil, or else he wouldn't talk about how horrid and evil the enemies of God are. I hope I start no heated arguments with this comment, but it's my interpretation.
