Possible Oaths of the New Lanterns

Blue Lanterns:

In darkest hour,
With dauntless might,
Do not fear for forsaken plight,
Let know all those who fear the night,
No longer cower,
Hope shall be bright!


Violet Lanterns:

In hateful hymn,
In loving lyre,
Embrace all of love’s undying fire,
Let this oath go ever higher,
Behold our power,
Violet heart’s ire!


Indigo Lanterns:

In coldest times
With kindest face,
Remove all indifference with haste,
Let spread benevolence and grace,
Release our power,
Compassion's embrace!


Orange Lanterns:

In warmest times,
With coldest brush,
When days are at its greatest lush,
Let generosity be a hush,
Witness our power,
Greed’s burning rush!


Red Lanterns:

In loving hymn,
In hateful lyre,
Be thus abound our scornful pyre,
Let the heart be forever dire,
Unleash our power,
Red Lantern’s fire!


Black Lanterns:

At the end of days,
At the end of time,
All the living will bear their crime,
Let all those who may hear this rhyme,
Fall from our power,
Dark be sublime!
These are the official oaths of currently existing Lanterns =

Green Lanterns:

"In Brightest Day,
In Blackest Night,
No Evil Shall Escape My Sight,
Let Those Who Worship Evil's Might,
Beware My Power,
Green Lantern's Light!!"


Sinestro Corps:

"In Blackest Day,
In Brightest Night,
Beware Your Fears Made Into Light,
Let Those Who Try To Stop What's Right,
Burn Like My Power,
Sinestro's Might!!"


Up above is my take on what oath of each of the other Lanterns could be (even the ominous Black Lanterns). This is actually a part of a collaboration idea I have, but I wanted to post it here nonetheless, since some of my friends told me they weren't that bad. XD

All the Lanterns are property of DC Comics.
All the oaths aside from the Green and Yellow were of my design.

I like this blue lantern oath better than the official
