Make a Green Lantern Oath

Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath

 

To lend the innocent protection

To give those gone astray direction

And if I must

To those unjust

Deal unmistakable correction.

 

Lucius Alexander

 

The palindromedary turns both noses up and says I can do better than that, but I notice the palindromedary isn't trying to write the oath....

Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath

 

Just a quick reworking of the Green oath:

 

In blighted day, in forlorn night,

No despair shall escape my sight.

Let those who worship sorrow's might,

Beware my power...Blue Lantern's light!

 

EDIT: Hmm...a slight reworking that I like better:

 

In brightest pain, in blackest blight,

No despair shall escape my sight.

Let those who worship sorrow's might,

Beware my power...Blue Lantern's light!

 

I'll keep thinking, and maybe come up with something more original...

Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath

 

...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.

 

I'll take that challenge, Aussie-boy!

 

The first one's paraphrased from "Dare," the second one from "Instruments of Destruction", both from the animated Transformers movie.

 

Good choice of Heroic Oath material.

Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath

 

Darn, I find a trivia question I know the answer to, only to find someone answered less then 6 hours ago.

 

So instead, I'll take the idea and convert another song's lyrics into an oath.

 

I shall do no injustice to another

I shall defend the weak & innocent

Truth & honor will always guide me

Courage shall find a life within

I shall stand when no one else is willing

I shall not act in hatred or in spite

I shall be to this world as a perfect knight, even if it means my life.

I swear, by the Green Lantern's Light.

Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath

 

Jack-A-Dandy would love to join in, but there isn't a "Lantern" in his name, and he refuses to become a Halloween decoration.

 

However, needs must:

 

"In sleazy clubs, in racy dives

They say that indiscretion thrives

And if you've got more looks than sense

You may plunge into decadence.

 

When crime's to thwart, and battle's near

Send your cry to Dandy's ear,

But this half faerie child of art

Is likely not to give a fart."

 

*sigh*

 

I do apologise for him. He never really 'got' the superhero thing.

Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath

 

Where shadows gather, and joy withers

Where hatred's crop bears bitter fruit

Where the waves of fear wash hope away

And the tide of violence rises high

 

There I will go.

To drive away the shadow, to nurture the seeds of joy

To root out the spawn of hatred

To calm the storm of fear

and hold back the blood red tides.

 

In the fury of these darkest hours

I will bring the Green Lanterns Light!

Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath

 

In the beginning there was darkness, full and forever. And then there was light, and then there was life, and then the light of the Green Lantern. ANd then myself, to do it justice.

 

Or:

Where darkness rules, there rides the champion of light. Where despair crushes all, there shines hope's flames.

 

Or:

Now let our light shine forth before men, let our light forth shine, so that they might know some kindness again -- we all need help to feel fine!

From Dominic Deegan:

 

To those who despair, See the Truth!

 

Lucius Alexander

 

The palindromedary repeats that the greatest power of Dominic Deegan is not the ability to see the truth - but the power to make others see.

The Unhappy Warrior

 

I wish I had dollar,

whenever evil's done,

cause when the victims holler,

I'd be the wealthy one.

 

But instead I've got this lantern,

like it's my stinking grail,

and I have this cavern,

that I use for my jail.

 

The ring sure gives me power,

to put the scumbags down,

and to make them cower,

when justice comes to town.

 

Oath of the Hermit Lantern, circa 3950 Post-Atomic.
