** Aya later tries to modify it so Razer won’t feel bad about having to use the oath to recharge his ring. It doesn’t work, but it’s a good try.

* And now there's the Ultraviolet Corps, whose rings tap into suppressed emotions such as shame:

-->"''[[CueTheSun In Brightest Day there will be light.]]\\

But then came the light of the Green Lantern—\\
And then myself—\\

--->“''In brightest day through blackest night!\\

Let those who try to stop what’s right\\
Burn like my power— Green Lantern’s light!''”

* The fear-powered Yellow Lantern/Sinestro Corps’ oath:
-->“''[[BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad In blackest day, in brightest night,]]\\

[[KnightTemplar Let those who try to stop what’s right]]\\
[[KillItWithFire Burn like his power —]] [[MagnificentBastard Sinestro’s might!]]''”
** Naturally enough, Sinestro himself ends with “Burn like ''my'' power…” Later on, when Arkillo takes command, he replaces the last part with “Arkillo’s might!”

* The Indigo Tribe’s is in {{Fictionary}} but it still sounds poetically badass[[note]]“Nok” is their CatchPhrase, meaning “Compassion be with you;” Natromo and Abin Sur founded the Tribe.[[/note]]:

-->“''[[TheStarsAreGoingOut The Blackest Night falls from the skies.]]\\
[[DarkIsEvil The darkness grows, as all light dies.]]\\

[[{{Necromancer}} By my Black Hand—]] [[ZombieApocalypse the dead shall rise!]]''”
* During ''Blackest Night'' Larfleeze (the Orange Lantern of Avarice) looks surprised when the other Lantern Corps are saying their oaths, as he hadn’t thought of using one. So he creates his own oath:
-->“''[[{{Greed}} What’s mine is mine]]\\

[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Not yours!]]''”

--->“''[[ItMustBeMine This power is mine,]] [[{{Greed}} this is my light.]]\\

[[ItsAllAboutMe To take what I want, that is my right!]]''”

-->“''[[LightIsGood In Brightest Day, and Blackest Night.]]\\

[[LightIsGood Shine forth my power White Lantern’s light.]]''”

-->“''[[CueTheSun In Brightest Day there will be light.]]\\

[[CueTheSun A new dawn comes let there be light!]]''”
* And now there’s the Ultraviolet Corps, whose rings tap into suppressed emotions such as shame:
-->“''[[LightIsNotGood By shield of day]] [[DarkIsEvil and shield of night,]]\\

[[VisibleInvisibility Wield the sword of unseen light!]]''”

-->''[[CastingAShadow With darkness black, I choke the light!]]\\

[[LightIsNotGood Beware my power— Dawnbreaker’s Might!]]''

-->“''[[DespairEventHorizon In desperate day, in hopeless night,]]\\

[[ItsAllAboutMe I seize the ring, that is my right!]]''”

-->“''I serve the fallen, broken light\\

The flame burns low that’s bright in Hell…\\
Beware my fate— lost Zundernell!''”

** Sodam Yat, a Daxamite ([[Franchise/{{Superman}} who are like Kryptonians, but with a weakness to lead instead of Kryptonite]]) combines the Green Lantern and Sinestro oaths as the last surviving Green Lantern (and from the sounds of it, the last surviving Lantern of ''any'' colour) in [[ComicBook/{{LegionOfSuper-Heroes}} the 30th century]]:
