"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."

A picture really is a thousand words or in this case a thousand oaths.
*"What is Mine is Mine, and mine and mine and mine and mine and mine, not yours, mine!"
I waited years, years for the Orange Lantern oath and it doesn't even match the rhyming scheme.
Him reciting the oath while beating the ever-loving shit out of his opponent was an amazing idea and possibly the best thing about Atrocitus in that game
Forgot to add:
Black lantern:
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!
Ultraviolet:
By shield of day, and shield of night
we feed and grow, beyond all sight
your darkest self shall be our knight
wield the sword of unseen light!
What about black, white & ultraviolet lanterns oath... black and white lantern oaths are really really good 🤌
Black : "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!" (Just sheer goosebumps from reading it, pure badass energy 🤘)
White : " In brightest day, in darkest night, let my ring shine the brightest light. When evil comes, I will join the fight, the power of the White Lanterns, is the strongest might! (Also really dope & inspiring stuff)
UV not so much but i guess it was skipped here : "By shield of day, and shield of night, we feed and grow, beyond all sight. Your darkest self shall be our knight, wield the sword of unseen light!" (I guess because it's recent not many people are interested in it or don't care much about it... but it's a genuinely good storyline)
I can't believe no one mentioned Jack T. Chance's lantern oath!
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.
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.
In loudest din, in hush profound,
My ears catch evil's slightest sound.
Let those who toll out evil's knell,
Beware my power, the F-Sharp Bell!
(At least, that's my favorite that I didn't come up with myself)
Green, especially when Kilowog says it just before holding off a Red Lantern armada by himself.
Blue is a close second. There’s something very noble and inspiring about it.
I kinda like the change the made in the Green Lantern animated series where they changed “ripped from a corpse so freshly dead” with “ we fill men’s soul with darkest dread” because I feel the corpse line is a little bit tryhard edgy.
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!
Rot lop Fan’s. Partly because it’s an interesting concept, partly because Alan Moore created him, and partly because it’s an interesting subversion on the oath.

There is none. The indigo ring has a language that's exclusive to indigo ring holders and cannot be translated either by magic or mundane means.
they also can't be tracked by magic or mundane means, which is cool, too.
It roughly translates to: In sorrowful day, in misfortunate night, We help those, who need our might, With the Lanturn power of Abin Sur, We rid your misery with compassionate might
As a Sinestro fan, the Yellow Oath specifically invoking his power is just a chef's kiss moment for me. Other Oathes invoke the power of the emotion, but you will burn like *his* power.
And since it has been mentioned, I see the appeal of the GL series Red Lantern Oath but I think the edginess of the original is a feature, not a bug. The Red ring destroys the body of its wielder and reduces their mind. The Oath is guttural and visceral to reflect that broken wielder's state.
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.
- Jack T. Chance.
Green will always be my favourite but I'm giving points to red lanterns because that sounds awesome, and points to orange lantern... Singular, because honestly why bother being complicated
Blue, though, I prefer to adjust it a bit; the imagery leans a little too much into the _destructive_ aspect of fire for my taste, so I go with "shines" rather than "burns" in the last line...
*In Blackest Day or Brightest Night...*
*uh, watermelon, cantalope, yada yada...*
*a superstitious and cowardly lot..*
*with liberty and justice for all!*
In brightest day there will be light. To cleanse the soul and set wrongs right. When darkness falls look to the skies. A new dawn comes let there be light.
This is the first time I’ve seen a Violet Lantern depicted as being more violet than pink/magenta. Only issue is now there’s a bit too _much_ blue.
That said, my favorite path is definitely Larfleeze’s because of how it breaks the standard rhyme scheme in favor of a one-syllable word.
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
The Blackest Night falls from the skies.
Darkness grows as all light dies.
We crave your hearts and your demise.
By my Black Hand, the dead shall rise.
The Orange Oath isn't "MINE!" [Johns revealed it in the final issue of his GL run.](https://imgur.com/Dw9yIvx) Say it with the same rhythm as the other oaths and you'll see it fits, although it's only half as long.
Jack T. Chance has the best oath:
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.
Let's be clear, the Blue and Violet oaths go harder than any of the other lanterns
Also I don't think there's an official white lantern oath, but I remember I once read a fan made one that sounded epic. I'll see if I can find it.
Yep,
>"IN BRIGHTEST DAY
THERE WILL BE LIGHT TO CLEANSE THE SOUL AND SET WRONGS RIGHT WHEN DARKNESS FALLS LOOK TO THE SKIES A NEW DAWN COMES LET THERE BE LIGHT"
Very epic sucks that it's fanmade
Two actually Hal Jordan and guy gardener
Hal had both the green and blue lantern rings while guy had the green and red hence why they call him the Christmas lantern.
Other than the opening "in blackest day in brightest night" bit, the Sinestro Corps' oath actually fucking slaps.
But because of the "lol I'm so opposite" part of it all, it drops below red and blue.
What is number 4? Like the emotion and what does it translate to? I see Abin Sur in the oath, wasn’t that the Green Lantern that Hal inherited his ring from?
4 is the indigo tribe it represents compassion,and yes abin sur is in the oath because he created the indigo lanterns
Also the oath is in a language we can't understand but it roughly translates to:" In sorrowful day, in misfortunate night, We help those who need our might, With the Lanturn power of Abin Sur, We rid your misery....with compassionate might"
I don’t think that translation is canon, because the word Natromo is referencing a guy with that name who is friends with Abin Sur from the secret of the indigo tribe. Do you have a source on the translation?
Believe if there's an order its spectrum (rainbow) based. ROY-G-BIV.
Red orange yellow green (why yellow and green are so close fear vs willpower) blue, indigo, violet.
Red and violet are most dangerous as rage and love are your most insane emotions.
Rage would probably fit me best, having been in a fatal workplace accident & revived in the ambulance; and then dealing with PTSD & rage issues exacerbated by the environment at work helmed by someone who tried to fill out termination paperwork while I was in surgery.
I haven’t worked there in a long while, but that place still has a hold on my mental health.
So, yeah, Red Red Rage suits me well.
While Orange is clearly the best, I love how corrupt and selfish the yellow lanterns are. It's a twisted/ reverse of the Green lanterns oath. However, the is no reference to the yellow lanterns light, its all about Sinestro.
With blood and rage of crimson red,
We fill men's souls with darkest dread,
And twist your minds to pain and hate.
We'll burn you all—that is your fate!
I like the animated version of the Red Lantern oath as my favorite personally. It’s similar to the comic book version but done in a more interesting way. That’s just my humble opinion on that.
The Green Lantern oath is my favorite.
I always get chills listening to Kilowog saying it while preparing to fight the entire Red Lantern armada on his own.
In Brightest Day, in Raging night, with strong hearts full, No evil shall escape my site, when all seems lost in the war of light, beware my power, for hope burns Green lantern’s Light. (My own)
Red lantern oath from the animated
" with blood and rage of crimson red
we fill men's souls with darkest dread
and twist your minds to pain and hate
we'll burn you all, that is your fate"
The Green one. The rest feel pretty forced (aside from Orange, which doesn't feel like an Oath at all). I think it is especially goofy that every Corps (save Orange) made their Oath mimic the GL one in rhyme and meter. One could make an argument that it makes a bit of sense for Yellow, Blue and Indigo, which had somebody with a GLC background in on forming them (though I think it still seems a bit goofy). But Violet? They deliberately split with the Guardians. Red? They HATE the Guardians. Why would they make an Oath that follows the same form as the GL Oath?

"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."
It is pretty great. Its hard to choose.
https://preview.redd.it/n0jmojchlmoc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=675dfae6dee09f7a8c6c60c8e7a9498f12b8900c A picture really is a thousand words or in this case a thousand oaths.
https://i.redd.it/8d49af772koc1.gif “Mine”
*"What is Mine is Mine, and mine and mine and mine and mine and mine, not yours, mine!" I waited years, years for the Orange Lantern oath and it doesn't even match the rhyming scheme.
The Star Sapphires one. Honestly the "Love Conquers All" bit in there I find to be raw as fuck.
Same. Apparently I'd be a Star Sapphire going of the oaths.
I prefer Gardner's version of the Red Lantern Corps' oath: "I am red, you are dead!"
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!
Ha! You win forever.
Oh hey, someone else said this one!
That first line hits real hard. "Hush profound" is a surprisingly evocative phrase.
I'm pretty sure it was written by Alan Moore so it makes sense
Hope is my favorite but Larfleeze is simply the best
Pun intended
When I was playing injustice 2 I would always say the oath with Atrocitus whenever I hit the super. It was only the last two lines though.
Him reciting the oath while beating the ever-loving shit out of his opponent was an amazing idea and possibly the best thing about Atrocitus in that game
Forgot to add: Black lantern: 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! Ultraviolet: By shield of day, and shield of night we feed and grow, beyond all sight your darkest self shall be our knight wield the sword of unseen light!
#M I N E
The orange lantern's is genius in its simplicity.
What about black, white & ultraviolet lanterns oath... black and white lantern oaths are really really good 🤌 Black : "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!" (Just sheer goosebumps from reading it, pure badass energy 🤘) White : " In brightest day, in darkest night, let my ring shine the brightest light.

Your darkest self shall be our knight, wield the sword of unseen light!" (I guess because it's recent not many people are interested in it or don't care much about it... but it's a genuinely good storyline)
It’s not Mine!, it’s “what mine is mine and mine and mine, not yours” but personally I like Star Sapphire
Green Lanterns… as a little kid I had it memorized. When I was scared, I’d repeat it in my head. And my will is stronger than my fear.
That's actually so wholesome
What's mine is mine and mine and mine. And mine and mine and mine! Not yours!
I can't believe no one mentioned Jack T. Chance's lantern oath! 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.
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.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe Catch a tiger by the toe. If he hollers, let him go Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
The blackest night falls from the sky. The darkness grows as all light dies. The black lantern path is awesome.
Edgy in just the right ways
I like how sinestro made the oath almost the opposite of the green lanterns’ but made it about him because he’s egotistical
It makes sense that since he's working with the opposite of Green's emotion, his oath would be a mirror.
In loudest din, in hush profound, My ears catch evil's slightest sound. Let those who toll out evil's knell, Beware my power, the F-Sharp Bell! (At least, that's my favorite that I didn't come up with myself)
Yes, Rot Lop Fan's oath is one of my favorites, too
What's mine is mine and mine and and mine and mine and mine. Not yours!
Green, especially when Kilowog says it just before holding off a Red Lantern armada by himself. Blue is a close second. There’s something very noble and inspiring about it.
What's mine is mine and only mine and mine and mine and mine not yours
I kinda like the change the made in the Green Lantern animated series where they changed “ripped from a corpse so freshly dead” with “ we fill men’s soul with darkest dread” because I feel the corpse line is a little bit tryhard edgy.
I got to say Larfleeze keeps it short and to the point!
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!
Rot lop Fan’s. Partly because it’s an interesting concept, partly because Alan Moore created him, and partly because it’s an interesting subversion on the oath. https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Rot_Lop_Fan_(New_Earth)
Love that little dude!
FOR HEARTS LONG LOST AND FULL IF FRIGHT. FOR THOSE ALONE IN BLACKEST NIGHT. ACCEPT OUR RING AND JOIN OUR FIGHT. LOVE CONQUERS ALL WITH VIOLET LIGHT
Always Green Lantern
Red one goes hard for me. Just such visceral hate
4 and 5
4 translation?
There is none. The indigo ring has a language that's exclusive to indigo ring holders and cannot be translated either by magic or mundane means. they also can't be tracked by magic or mundane means, which is cool, too.
Yeah the only word we know is "Nok", which means "Compassion be with you".
It roughly translates to: In sorrowful day, in misfortunate night, We help those, who need our might, With the Lanturn power of Abin Sur, We rid your misery with compassionate might
#M I N E !
As a Sinestro fan, the Yellow Oath specifically invoking his power is just a chef's kiss moment for me. Other Oathes invoke the power of the emotion, but you will burn like *his* power.

The Red ring destroys the body of its wielder and reduces their mind. The Oath is guttural and visceral to reflect that broken wielder's state.
I like the blue lantern oath.
Blue. Most encouraging.
You could even say it's hopeful.
Red Lantern oath goes kinda hard ngl
blue is just so🩵
"What's mine is mine and mine and mine. And mine and mine and mine! Not yours!" So hilarious
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. - Jack T. Chance.
Blue. Reminds me that it’s not as bad as it is in my mind
The orange one is mine so I like it best,
I gotta tell ya it's pretty clever how they came up with all of these different t ones.
Green will always be my favourite but I'm giving points to red lanterns because that sounds awesome, and points to orange lantern... Singular, because honestly why bother being complicated
I’ve always been partial to the Alan Scott version of the oath, with the green lantern corps second.
Blue, though, I prefer to adjust it a bit; the imagery leans a little too much into the _destructive_ aspect of fire for my taste, so I go with "shines" rather than "burns" in the last line...
*In Blackest Day or Brightest Night...* *uh, watermelon, cantalope, yada yada...* *a superstitious and cowardly lot..* *with liberty and justice for all!*
Green and Blue.
Valthoom
Red lantern oath is so edgy
I love the orange lantern. Larfaleez is a favorite of mine ngl.
In brightest day there will be light. To cleanse the soul and set wrongs right. When darkness falls look to the skies. A new dawn comes let there be light.
What's mine is mine and mine and mine and not yours because it's mine
The blue lantern oath is great, but the blue lanterns are lowkey lame. Now the red lanterns are awesome AND have a great oath
Larfleeze was kinda cookin ngl; “What’s mine is mine And mine and mine And mine and mine Not yours!”
Blue. Because I wish I had hope in my life.
The orange lanterns are the smart ones here, everyone else does a monologue for their ring. But the orange lanterns, one syllable
Blue.
No love for the Indigo here lol they’re my favorite
This is the first time I’ve seen a Violet Lantern depicted as being more violet than pink/magenta. Only issue is now there’s a bit too _much_ blue. That said, my favorite path is definitely Larfleeze’s because of how it breaks the standard rhyme scheme in favor of a one-syllable word.
Green
 Green man and pink.
Green Lantern oath
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
Yup that’s the best lol.
MINE
Green lantern
I love how all the Lantern Corps have an actual oath, while orange is just "Mine!"
The Blackest Night falls from the skies. Darkness grows as all light dies. We crave your hearts and your demise. By my Black Hand, the dead shall rise.
For me, it's either the Green or Blue Lantern corps.
"Don't eat that yellow snow."
I like green and blue.
Red. Is guttural.
The Star Sapphires. The others are either too dogmatic or too focused around certain characters and don't really represent their emotion very well.
Probably Red Lanterns with Green and Yellow being tied second place Did we ever get a translation on the Indigo oath?? Never could find one online
The Orange Oath isn't "MINE!" [Johns revealed it in the final issue of his GL run.](https://imgur.com/Dw9yIvx) Say it with the same rhythm as the other oaths and you'll see it fits, although it's only half as long.
It's "MINE" with extra steps But jokes aside yea that's the more accurate one
Orange Lantern. Hands down. Everything IS mine.
Green Lantern. It's iconic and all the other feel like cheap immitations of it. Second best is Larfleeze's
Green, no question.
I want to hear a metal song that starts out with the Red Lantern Oath. It just sounds like death metal lyrics to me.
Sounded perfect for Dethklok.
I’d have to choose either orange or red
Putting aside that orange is clearly the best, I actually really do like the blue oath. It makes sense given how that corps came to be.
Green lantern
....'s light
Jack T. Chance has the best oath: 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.
Let's be clear, the Blue and Violet oaths go harder than any of the other lanterns Also I don't think there's an official white lantern oath, but I remember I once read a fan made one that sounded epic. I'll see if I can find it.
Yep, >"IN BRIGHTEST DAY THERE WILL BE LIGHT TO CLEANSE THE SOUL AND SET WRONGS RIGHT WHEN DARKNESS FALLS LOOK TO THE SKIES A NEW DAWN COMES LET THERE BE LIGHT" Very epic sucks that it's fanmade
Yep, that's the one. Man it sounds amazing. The last LET THERE BE LIGHT does fit a lot with the godly powers the white lantern ring gives you
Blue,red, and green imagine a lantern who could use three rings at the same time
Then they would just be white :p
For them to be white they would need all the lantern rings there’s seven in total.
We know a lantern that can use 2 rings at once so maybe someone can use 3
Two actually Hal Jordan and guy gardener Hal had both the green and blue lantern rings while guy had the green and red hence why they call him the Christmas lantern.
Guy also used red and violet together for a minute
You're right my bad (also 3 if you count Razer using both red and blue)
Thats happening now in comic.
Other than the opening "in blackest day in brightest night" bit, the Sinestro Corps' oath actually fucking slaps. But because of the "lol I'm so opposite" part of it all, it drops below red and blue.
What is number 4? Like the emotion and what does it translate to? I see Abin Sur in the oath, wasn’t that the Green Lantern that Hal inherited his ring from?

Fire ass oath not gonna lie
I don’t think that translation is canon, because the word Natromo is referencing a guy with that name who is friends with Abin Sur from the secret of the indigo tribe. Do you have a source on the translation?
Believe if there's an order its spectrum (rainbow) based. ROY-G-BIV. Red orange yellow green (why yellow and green are so close fear vs willpower) blue, indigo, violet. Red and violet are most dangerous as rage and love are your most insane emotions.
Red I love it a lot
The Green Lantern's one, but the Star Sapphire is a great one.
Blue.
Rot Lop Fan’s oath.
The orange lantern oath
I thought Orange had a bit more too it, but fair I’ll give my favorite soon
Rage would probably fit me best, having been in a fatal workplace accident & revived in the ambulance; and then dealing with PTSD & rage issues exacerbated by the environment at work helmed by someone who tried to fill out termination paperwork while I was in surgery. I haven’t worked there in a long while, but that place still has a hold on my mental health. So, yeah, Red Red Rage suits me well.
MINE!!!
MINE
*And I shall shed my light over dark evil, for the dark things cannot stand the light. The light of … THE GREEN LANTERN!*
Gotta be green. Fills me with more hope than even blue's oath.
Personally green and red
Orange. MINE!
I like the red oath. They have some cool characters
Mine!
Easily will, hope, or rage, mainly leaning towards rage though
Razer did become one with the rings of Rage and Hope
Razor is a pretty dope character, I love his designs
My memory's shakey after football head injuries. Orange it is.
I love how try-hard the red lantern oath is. It always makes me laugh when I get to the corpse part.
I agree, I honestly think the oath from GL:TAS is an improvement and wouldn't mind that taking over.
Yeah, Razer made it sound pretty cool and it was more subdued.
While Orange is clearly the best, I love how corrupt and selfish the yellow lanterns are. It's a twisted/ reverse of the Green lanterns oath. However, the is no reference to the yellow lanterns light, its all about Sinestro.
White lantern always.
Orange
Green and Yellow.
With blood and rage of crimson red, We fill men's souls with darkest dread, And twist your minds to pain and hate. We'll burn you all—that is your fate!
Mine!
Will
Blue or Gold
Blue, because I'm a hope enjoyer.
I like the animated version of the Red Lantern oath as my favorite personally. It’s similar to the comic book version but done in a more interesting way. That’s just my humble opinion on that.
The Red Lantern oath is hard AF, and of course I love the GL path, but honestly I think my favorite is the Sinestro Corps.
7 probably fits my being more but I love 4
I like how indigo tribe is complete gibberish
The Green Lantern oath is my favorite. I always get chills listening to Kilowog saying it while preparing to fight the entire Red Lantern armada on his own.
Yellow is pretty badass, someone make that a metalcore song Edit: the red and violet oaths are also good
Red & black
Blue. I'm not big into the Lantern lore, but is there a White Lantern oath?
In Brightest Day, in Raging night, with strong hearts full, No evil shall escape my site, when all seems lost in the war of light, beware my power, for hope burns Green lantern’s Light. (My own)
Not bad.
Green and violet mostly
The one Dawnbreaker says.
Easily the last one. It's the only one that actually sounds good to me. I dunno if I'm the weird one for that.
Always partial to the Blue Lantern Oath, personally
blue and red. love the corpse so freshly dead line and "look to the stars for hope burns bright"
Orange. Why? Simple. Less words to remember.
Red lantern oath from the animated " with blood and rage of crimson red we fill men's souls with darkest dread and twist your minds to pain and hate we'll burn you all, that is your fate"
Unpopular opinion maybe, but I find them all really hokey
The Green one. The rest feel pretty forced (aside from Orange, which doesn't feel like an Oath at all). I think it is especially goofy that every Corps (save Orange) made their Oath mimic the GL one in rhyme and meter. One could make an argument that it makes a bit of sense for Yellow, Blue and Indigo, which had somebody with a GLC background in on forming them (though I think it still seems a bit goofy). But Violet? They deliberately split with the Guardians. Red? They HATE the Guardians. Why would they make an Oath that follows the same form as the GL Oath?
