The name, Cemetary 1213 , was in reference to the song 1213 - Trancegalactica that can be found on Last Confessions, and used to emphasise the fact that this was not the old Cemetary reunited, but something new and fresh. Staying with the label of Sundown, Century Media , the new album and debut of Cemetary 1213, The Beast Divine , was released in spring 2000. Apart from Silver on drums and Lodmalm on vocals and guitar, Cemetary 1213 consisted of Manne Engström on vocals and guitar and Vesa K on bass. Once again, the band felt neglected by Century Media, and was very unhappy with the weak promotional efforts for the new album. Therefore, in autumn 2000, Cemetary 1213 decided to leave the label, and decline any new offer that was made from other labels. Lodmalm decided to concentrate on other projects for some time

Cemetary 1213 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Burned black from shame
We rule again
No need to hide
The purest pride
We kill again
Whatever's lost - at any cost
We claim our ground
The perfect kill
Without a sound
Annihilation's pretty sweet
Our hearts are pure hate
You can't stop the beat
The bastard sons / the no. 1
Not of man but pure machine
The antisoul / the antiblood
Compassion's dead and so are you
Flick the switch - the killing itch
Now watch it burn, burn, burn
The antisoul / the antiblood
Not of man but pure machine
With blazing eyes and havoc cries
We storm the world
The 13th freeze
Down on your knees
We crush the world
Our ice cold fear
The darkest sphere
So blessed be
Antimatter thru
Connects the crew
We're your destiny
The lyrics to "Firewire" by Cemetary 1213 are about a group of cyborgs, referred to as "bastard sons" and "pure machine", who have risen from the ashes and are seeking to rule the world. They are fueled by hate and a desire for power, and they take pleasure in killing without regard for human life or compassion. The chorus features the lines "Annihilation's pretty sweet / Our hearts are pure hate / You can't stop the beat", emphasizing their destructive force and determination to succeed.
The second verse continues with the theme of their inhumanity, noting that they have no soul or blood like humans do, and that they are driven by a "killing itch" that they cannot resist. The use of terms like "antisoul" and "antiblood" reinforces the idea that these cyborgs are not entirely human, and that they are superior in terms of their powers and abilities. The bridge section describes their entrance into the world with "blazing eyes and havoc cries", suggesting that they are both powerful and terrifying to behold. The final lines "Antimatter thru / Connects the crew / We're your destiny" implies that their ultimate goal is to dominate and control the world, and that they see themselves as the inevitable future.

With blazing eyes and havoc cries
Having intense, fiery gazes and screaming loudly to cause chaos

Invading and overpowering the planet
The 13th freeze
A reference to a mysterious and significant event
Down on your knees
Being forced to submit and bow down
We crush the world

Projecting a sense of fear that is as severe as the coldness of ice
The darkest sphere
A place of utmost darkness and despair
So blessed be
A sense of honor and good fortune

Manipulating matter and energy in a powerful way
Connects the crew
Bringing the group together in a unified way
We're your destiny
Having the power to control someone's fate or future
