Make a Green Lantern Oath

Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath

 

I was always partial to Lina Inverse's oath that is played at the begining of every episode, "Wherever monsters rampage, I am there to topple them; wherever treasure glitters, I am there to claim it." Then there's the classic superhero schtick of "I am Sailor Moon, the champion of justice! In the name of the Moon, I will punish you! I will right wrongs and triumph over evil and that means you!"

 

But one I came up with a while back was this one, and rep to the first person to post what I'm paraphrasing.

 

When all hopes have all been shattered

And there's nowhere to turn

And people wonder how they keep going

I will think of all the things that really matter

And the chances that we've earned

‘Till fire in my heart is growing

I will fly, by leaving the past behind

Heaven only knows what I will find

Out of the darkness I will stride into the light

Fighting for the things I know are right

 

When iron birds of fortune are adrift above the skies

And cloudy revelations are unseen by naked eyes

And flying tools of torment penetrate the sphere

I will erupt the rock of ages, and bring final fear.

Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath

 

Hey all! new here but I had to jump on this thread.

 

A few years ago, I drew a picture for a friend of mine of Thor as a GL.

It was pretty cool and he was spouting this oath:

 

Forsooth!

Thru Brightest Day,

Thru Blackest Night,

No Wickedness Shall Escape Mine Sight!

 

Let Thou Who Worship Evil's Might,

Beware The Power of a Warrior Born----

 

Green Lanterns Light!!!

I like this one.

 

Liana from M'Elu:

"The cosmos through,

in every part,

one thing endures:

a loving heart.

Against the knaves,

who'd quell this song,

Green Lanterns stand,

to right the wrong!"

-Green Lantern Vol. 2 #162

Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath

 

Justice is the one thing you should always find

You got to saddle up your boys

You got to draw a hard line

When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune

And we'll all meet back at the local saloon

And we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing

whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

 

We ought to be able to do something with that.

Well, I'll give it a try...it's the best I can come up with on short notice.

 

"When evil men plot strife

and threaten an innocent life

One must have the Will to fight

while never forgetting what is right

Green Lantern's light, life's hue

Granted to the chosen few

In the dark times, I stand for the light

For the lantern shines brightest in the night!"

Vitus of Clan Scorpion, should our GM ever be crazed enough to let him get away with it

 

"In brightest day, or blackest night,

You're gonna do what I think's right

But should you think that I'm too mellow,

This ring's green - and THIS one's yellow."

 

( scary thing is Vitus is by now insane enough, with enough unspent points, to pull it off. )

Hmmm, with a little tinkering that would do fine for Sinestro.

In foulest day, in sweetest night,

beware the serpents coiled so tight.

Let those who try to stop our might,

burn like his power... Great Set's might!

- Wearers of the Black Ring

 

 

 

And now that Marvel's Gamma Mutants are getting to be as colorful as DC's Lanterns (what with Red Hulks and Blue Abominations)....

 

In greenest day, in greyest night,

No one can beat me in a fight

Let those who come within my sight,

Beware my Gamma-powered might!

 

or

 

No punch can break, no blade can slash,

Yet my fists shall surely trash,

Let those who would against me thrash,

Beware my power... HULK SMASH AND BASH!

Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath

 

For a variant of the Black Lanterns, used in the MMO Second Life:

 

Far from brightest day,

Lost in darkest night,

Beyond all sight,

It holds Death at bay,

Black Lantern's Might!

 

Bubba, is that you?

 

In secret vaults my light will shine

Illuminating what should be mine.

My will to gain what I desire,

A wealth of power, Orange Lantern's fire!

Since no one else is trying:

 

Justice is one thing you always should find

Green Lanter's Light shows a hard line

I raise up my ring against evil forces

 

horses

courses

divorces

endorses

enforces

sources

 

 

Three good lines out of four.

Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath

 

ok I got bored tonight and wrote my own. This is what I would say if I were a GL.

 

An oath I state to prove my worth,

I shall give justice its new rebirth,

Evil is omnipresent and must be fought,

A peaceful way must always be sought,

Violence is the last resort I take,

A better world I shall make,

With my will so strong I shall always fight,

The power I was given was Green Lanterns Light!

 

please comment if you liked it. This was all me.
