Which Lantern Corp Oath would you put on your tombstone?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Which one would you put on your tombstone and why?
Green Lantern Corp:

In brightest day, In blackest night;
No evil shall escape my sight.
let those who worships evils might,
Beware my power;
Green Lanterns Light.

Red Lantern Corp:

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 Lantern Corp:

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!

Yellow / Sinestro Lantern Corp:

In blackest day, in brightest night,
Beware your fears made into light
Let those who try to stop whats right,
Burn like his powers…
Sinestro’s might!

Black Lantern Corp:

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!

Violet Lantern Corp:

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!

Orange Lantern Corp:

This power is mine, this is my light.
Be it in bright of day, or black of night.
I lay claim to all that falls within my sight,
To take what I want, That is my right!

Indigo Lantern Corp:

Tor lorek san, bor nakka mur.
Natromo faan tornek wot ur.
Ter Lantern ker lo Abin Sur.
Taan lek lek nok - Formorrow Sur!

White Lantern Corp:

In brightest day, there will be light
To cleanse the soul and set wrongs right
When darkness falls look towards the sky
A new dawn comes let there be light!

I’ll go with the original:

“The lantern will light three times.
First to bring life
Second to bring death
Third to bring power.”

3

Interesting. I’ve never heard that one before

4

“In blackest day or brightest night, watermelon, cantaloupe, yadda yadda, erm…superstitious and cowardly lot, with liberty and justice for all!”

5

An oldie but a goodie:

“On worlds afar or scenes at home,
wherever the cause should make me roam,
always I vow to fight the good fight–
to combat evil with all Green Lantern’s might!”

I also have a fondness for this one:

“You who are wicked, evil, and mean–
I’m the nastiest creep you’ve ever seen!
Come one, come all; put up a fight;
I’ll pound your butts with Green Lantern’s light.
Yowza.”

Also:

From the shoulder,
beyond the wrist,
look out evil,
it’s my fist!

White and Blue are the only ones that really belong on a tombstone. The others are too obviously comic book slogans.

I might be an idiot, but what’s the translation for indigo?

EDIT: although Black and Red are sufficiently metal to belong on the mass tombstone for the band Slayer…

7

I agree. I’d go with blue.

According to the indigo’s wiki:

“In its first extended appearance, the Indigo Tribe speaks a language that the power ring cannot translate, although Indigo-1 later explains that her Tribe can speak languages others can understand. Regardless, the oath has only been rendered in the aforementioned fictional language.”

*The man who drives

Half asleep

Now is buried

Six feet deep

When my comic book shop had a display of rings, I bought the Violet one…

Guess I’ll go with the Violet oath, too.

10

Really? That many color-ring variations?

Sheesh. I guess all the good tropes were taken.

11

Death creates a black ring and almost kills the entire universe. All the rings unite to fight

“Blackest Night” involves Nekron, a personified force of death who resurrects deceased superheroes and seeks to eliminate all life and emotion from the universe."

12

This is my lantern
This is my gun
This is for fighting
This is for fun

13

In loudest din or hush profound
My ears catch evil’s slightest sound
Let those who toll out evil’s knell
Beware my power, the F-Sharp Bell!

14

Bravo!

I kinda like Sgt. Deegan’s:

[Green Lantern Emerald Knights: Sgt. Deegan - YouTube]

Ya freakin’ bastards!

16

This.

:D:cool:

17

was in the first Alan Scott Golden age GL story. I don’t think it was ever mentioned again.

18

Hardly a driver
Is now alive
Who passed on hills
At sixty-five
Burma-Shave.

What about having your tombstone say:

" Here lies the Man of Steel "

What I was going to post.

As much as Moore and Willingham would go on to annoy me separately, they did a very good job on that story.
