The ritual performed by Kira Nerys in "Battle Lines" was described as Bajoran death chant in the script of the episode. [1]
- A Bajoran death chant is a dirge sung by Bajorans in the event of a death.

(DS9 video game: Harbinger) Bajoran death chants can last for two hours. (TNG episode: "The Next Phase") In 2383, Kira Nerys offered to have a Bajoran death chant sung for Elias Vaughn but Prynn Tenmei wanted something simpler. (ST - Typhon Pact novel: Plagues of Night)
