Red Lantern Corps - Oath

Oath

Like other Corps in the DC Universe, Atrocitus created an oath for the Red Lanterns to use when recharging their rings. As the other members of his Corps are rarely seen as being capable of speech, it's unknown how often they use it (if they are able to at all). However, it has been shown how Atrocitus is able to restore intelligence and abstract thought, along with full speech capabilities, to his fellow Red Lanterns by the use of his shamanistic magic, making them able to recite the full oath. The Red Lantern Corps oath is recited as follows:

“
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!
 ”

—Atrocitus, Green Lantern (vol. 4) #32 (June 2008)

Green Lantern: The Animated Series features an adjusted version of this oath:

“
With blood and rage of crimson red,
We fill mens' souls with darkest dread,
And twist your minds to pain and hate.
We'll burn you all—that is your fate!
 ”
