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....

hfergus Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath "To fight the good fight To do what is right And evil to judge From this I won’t budge All with the power of Green Lantern’s light." Simple and to the point. (and fits me, since I can be a "bit" stubborn at times.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jogger Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath Ok, it's a Blue Lantern Oath of mine, since I wondered what one of them would look like: "In the greatest doubt, in the darkest pit wherever discarded dreams do sit I pledge my strength to help those in despair guide their way with Blue Lantern's flare."

matrix3 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 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...

Haven Walkur Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalinth Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"V" Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalinth Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewings Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 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!

Kenn Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath It occurs to me that the classic Lantern oath has the exact right cadence that it can be sung to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."

casualplayer Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Re: Make a Green Lantern Oath If I got to choose my oath, I would probably make it "Crap!

Egyptoid Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 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.
