When everybody thought that mankind has already completely withered away, patrol units discovered that were still men left, who did not undergo the transformation into a zombie. It was evident: In order to maintain the goal of World Domination, the last men on earth had to be zombiefied as well. Consequently, the five guys of the zombie special unit had to go undercover. Since they were – for a zombie – quite good looking and not as smelly, they had to infiltrate the resisting society. The gave themselves the earthly names of Fabs, Mosh, Oli, Jan and Twist and set sails to plunder, pillage and burn the last strongholds of man. However, as a special unit of the Wzbgomen they were given the task to achieve further steps to World Domination by using one of the post powerful weapons of mass destruction: Metal. Roaming the land under the banner of the new law, the five-piece went into every city still occupied by men. Nothing held them back, putting into order, what is from now on supposed to be the only law: Deadly Thrashing Metal Madness with a nowadays approach: this is the Wild Zombie Blast Guide. Hence, they were known as the Wild Zombie Blast Guide – relentless, ferocious and persistent.

Birds of Prey
Wild Zombie Blast Guide Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
this primate existence
how long till the undead crumble
with their mindless persistance
old world new predators rule
decaying hord, only the undead
the frozen winter hasn't killed them off
how far to we have to walk
for any sence of normality
how long before this life re-awakes
the undead will dominate,
the undead will dominate
post-apocalyptic fiction
we are the survivors of a new age
birds of prey birds of prey will face starvation
we are the survivors of a new age
birds of prey birds of prey a world
ruled by the living dead
( a world cancer will overtake )
now the term we know as work
is the will to survive
never sleep on the job
be alive, be alive
In the song "Birds of Prey" by Wild Zombie Blast Guide, the lyrics question the length of time humans will have to endure the current state of existence where zombies have taken over and rule the world. The opening verse references the "primate existence," suggesting a regression in humanity's evolutionary progress as the undead have taken over. The chorus emphasizes the point that the "undead will dominate."
The second verse suggests that the zombie apocalypse has ushered in a new era where humans are no longer at the top of the food chain. Instead, it is now a world ruled by "new predators" in the form of the undead. The line "they were only preserved" implies that freezing temperatures have not eradicated zombies but instead served to preserve them. The bridge of the song introduces the concept of post-apocalyptic fiction, suggesting that the world is now a dystopia and the survivors are living in an age of survival.
The overall message of the song seems to be that humans are now living in a post-apocalyptic world where survival is the only goal. The lyrics are filled with a sense of despair and hopelessness, but there is also a sense of determination to survive. The reference to "birds of prey" in the chorus emphasizes the idea that humans must fight to survive and that only the strong will survive.
