Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.
Respect the structure
Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.
Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)
Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.
Don’t mix versions
If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.
Let the lyrics be lyrics
This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.
Edit lightly
If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’
When in doubt, ask the crowd
Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
It is a slur of the word Christ I believe, or perhaps this is the real name of Christ and it existed first, either way there is only one letter difference and phonetically it doesnt change the word hardly at all. Louis Churist and Victoriana Churist left France for New York between 1825 and 1957. Due to the similar phonetic remaining lyric content, Brijt is one letter from Brit (british) Iniia means "initiate" in Romanian, "dorantijr" is Doranti (Italian) which means "Crisp", I guess cortizo sounds like cortorize which means burning a wound shut. it seems "Inrati" means "establishments" from swedish Inratt. Im not going to translate any more because its starting to sound disturbing. But you get the idea.
I knew it wasn't Latin (I've studied a bit of the language and know it when I see it), and I did finally manage to find an interview where he states that it's an artificial language and doesn't mean a damn thing.
I have a theory. Since the name of the album this song is on, is called: Evoke. Evoke is a magickal art of summoning a spiritual entity before you(demon, angels, familiars, dead people, etc), and since the language this song is made by a seemingly non-sensical gibberish language, however I think there is more to it than that.
In certain acts of imposing someone's will unto the universe(a spell if you will), they transcribe what their intent is to a bastardized syllablized version of their intent(mostly used in chaos magick), which could very well sound like this song.
So I don't think it's as much as him singing a song as it is a sigil of the will on a massive scale. It's not unheard of musicians doing this, if fact it's somewhat common. (Pay attention to symbols, on some of your albums to see what I mean. Look on the CD cover for Tool's Anemia album, and you'll find the seal of Astaroth).
Just because it is an artificial language doesn't mean he isn't actually saying something... he's just doing it in code, so to speak. "Artificial language" is not the same thing as "making random noises". It seems like it borrows a lot from latin by the sound of the words.

An educated guess, but "Yor" is that white demon thing on the cover of the album. Beyond that... no clue.

"Chain D.L.K.: What language are you using on "Churist, Churist"
Wumpscut: Churist Churist is written/performed in an artificial language. The title already was created, and while I was collecting text ideas, I found out that this track should provide something we never had with :W: so far..."

Im afraid your all way off, the truth is far creepier than you think. The title of this song is not made up, its a surname that has only one surviving existing documented record. http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?rank=0&gsln=Churist&db=nypl&gss=genfact&_82004280=France

What was the name of the ship?

Anybody stumbled apon a plausible translation for this?
The only thing I've gotten to is Yor cor could be "Your cor" and in latin, cor means heart. "Your heart."
I'm probably way the hell off though.
ya, i was thinking it might be latin, but everyone i talk to has no idea

every damn fuck could see that this isn't latin, come on, maybe the churist part, but the sounds of ij is no way latin
according to this french article its an artificial name.... http://www.premonition.fr/premor.php3?lien=actu/actu.php3X1Xactuid=233001&ta=7
