Antinatalism vs Nihilism.

Even efilism isn't nihilism.

The song is the Panzerlied, sung by German tank-soldiers in WWII. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JDkdc246QQ

Lyrics:

Whether it storms or snows, whether the sun smiles upon us,
The day glowing hot, or the ice cold of night.
Dusty are our faces, but joyful are our minds,
Yes, our minds
They roar our tanks forward in the storm.

With thundering engines, fast as lightning,
Towards the enemy, sheltered in the tank,
Ahead of our comrades, in battle we stand alone,
We stand alone,
That's how we thrust deep into the enemy ranks.

When before us a hostile tank appears,
Full throttle is given and close with the enemy.
Ha, what do our lives matter for the Reich's army?
Yes, Reich's army?
To die for Germany is our highest honour.

With barriers and mines the foe blocks our path,
We laugh about it and don't drive upon them.
And if cannons threaten before us, hidden in the yellow sand,
In the yellow sand,
We find ways that no one else has found.

If one day we're deserted by treacherous luck,
And we don't return home anymore,
If a deadly bullet hits us, and fate calls us away,
Calls us away,
Then the tank shall become our iron grave.

Here's a more up-to-date expression of nihilism in song, "Le boudin" of the French Foreign Legion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWNuKJC4gMk
