Do the descriptions of "joy of battle" and singing that was "fair and terrible" strike you as paradox? Can you feel a connection between battling and singing, or does that seem irreconcilable to you?

Historically speaking this type of thing is rather common. Lots of peoples had customs of singing when they were going into battle. I am personally a little skeptical about how much singing took place during actual scrapping. Fighting is hard work. I wouldn't think one would have the energy (or air) to do much else during those moments. In spite of this, the idea for this was certainly present in many places.
