Before Crota fell, the Death Singer Ir Yut was killed before she could sing the song of death. When we returned to steal the last of Crota's soul, Ir Yut was there again, not much different from before. How can this be?
The Daughters of Oryx were the first Death Singers. They study how Oryx and his sisters could kill each other and return with ease. They created the Oversoul so the Champions of Oryx could hide their deaths. But how did they do it.?
Well when Oryx was first killed by his sister, Oryx return in his throne world and the Worm God instructed Oryx so that he could learn from the experience. The death redefined Oryx.
When Oryx killed his two sister in their throne worlds, those were true deaths as it happened in the sword world. Savathun defined herself as treachery and through Oryx's treachery she returned. Xivu Arath defined himself as war and through Oryx's war he returned.
"she sang the song of that fearful autonomy. Revelation, my friends, it does go down hard. The definition killed me. The killing redefined me." - Toland
They return by simple logic "I am War' or "I am death" and as long as such things exist in the Universe they can keep returning as many times as they want. I wonder what Toland defined himself as.
As for Oryx, in the raid you killed him and it was a true death as it happened in the his Throne world. Oryx is dead, as is Crota and his Daughters, but it is not over. The Daughters will rise from there deaths. Oryx already new that he depended to much on his children.
"I will go on forever. I will understand everything. There is only one path and that is the path that you make. But you can make more than one path.
Break your cell’s bars. Make a new shape, make the shape from its path, find your cell’s bars, break out of the bars, find a shape, make the shape from its path, eat the light, eat the path.
If I fail, let me be wormfood." - Oryx
Did Oryx succeed with his plan for a new life? My answer to you is yes. The Death Singers were preparing Crota's remains so that he could be revived. The Ghost scan say that hive can be revived by sacrificing lesser hive souls. With the death of so many of Oryx's minions, the Daughter's of Oryx should have enough to revive their Dead King.
Prepare yourselves Guardians, the fight is far from over.

True, but wouldn't you think that when we kill him in regicide is when the Deathsingers revive him, since he comes back bigger in the raid. Also, Oryx is a more recent God, since he is the God of worms, and he is the only God left of the hive.

Interesting theory
