Green Lantern fans will understand this

I figured I outta take a stab at these until Blackest Night reveals the other oaths. The only two Lantern Corps to not have an oath are Agent Orange and the Indigo Tribe.

I took a little license on Agent Orange's oath, since the oath of the Orange Lanterns is just "Mine." Which sounds logical, of course, but not very dramatic.

I tried to keep close to the style the other oaths kept, a very rhythmic verse, trying to stay in 4 syllables per stanza.

Here are the other oaths:


Green Lantern Corp - Willpower

In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power...Green Lantern's light!

Alpha Corp., Green Judges

In Days of peace, in nights of war
Obey the Laws forever more
Misconduct must be answered for,
Swear us the chosen: The Alpha Corps!

Yellow, Sinestro Corp. - Fear

In blackest day, in brightest night,
Beware your fears made into light.
Let those who try to stop what's right,
Burn like his power... Sinestro's might!

Red, Red Lantern Corp. - Rage

With blood and rage of crimson red,
Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead,
Together with our hellish hate,
We'll burn you all--
That is your fate!

Blue, Blue Lantern Corp - Hope

In fearful day, in raging night,
With strong hearts full our souls ignite,
When all seems lost in the War of Light,
Look to the stars--
For hope burns bright!

Violet, Star Sapphires - Love

For hearts long lost and full of fright
For those alone in blackest night
Accept our ring and join our fight
Love conquers all--
With violet light!

Black, The Black Hand's Oath - Death

The Blackest Night falls from the skies,
The darkness grows as all light dies,
We crave your hearts and your demise,
By my black hand--
The dead shall rise!

I really think they should redo the Red Lantern oath. It confuses the emotion of rage with hatred, or evil. As someone experienced with recognizing and dealing with anger, I can tell you anger is not an evil imperative. Rage is extreme end on the anger spectrum, and an explosive means of dealing with threats. Although hate is born from anger, they are not the same thing.
