War of the Lantern Corps - Heart of Duty (Epic Ballad ver 1)

LYRICS: Whoa-oh! Built with precision Each line and angle true Every careful measurement Formed my world view From peacekeeping to galactic wars I've been tested on every tour And learned duty isn't glory It's the strength to endure There's an emerald fire blazing in my heart Burning stronger with every life I rescue There's a calling carried from beyond any chart And I'm answering once again Far beyond the blue And I will stand true as chaos descends Hold the line beneath darkened skies Be a shield for innocents and friends And entrusted by my allies To always stand true! I marched through fire Learned discipline and drive The skills I'd need To soar and survive They took me to the skies To serve a billion lands Using my power to analyze and overcome all demands! There's an emerald furnace crackling in my chest Fueling me like a masterwork machine! Whoa-oh-oh There's a cry from the helpless and oppressed And I'm answering once again Empowered by the green! And I will stand true when fear and rage advance Whether leading soldiers, Lanterns, or Darkstars! Whoa-oh-oh-oh! No yellow light or blackest night can shake my stance, Together tomorrow is ours When we always stand true! In Darkstar black and emerald green I embraced my charge, my sacred commission, Felt the Star Sapphire's embrace and Ultraviolet shadows, Embodied Indigo's compassion. There was a time my body failed me When I could no longer stand But no wound could long break commitment And no fate forever stay my hand You never learn what service means Until the mission costs your all You never know how strong you are Until you've risen after every fall! No ring upon my hand, no lantern by my side I looked into the storm and took that wild ride The power of my beating heart keeps the flame alight I have become the beacon in the darkest night! Every construct shaped with purpose, every action measured right When this marine takes aim, no evil shall escape my site! There's an emerald engine roaring in my soul Sustaining my vision, giving me control! In green or black, violet or indigo! I'll answer the call again, And fulfill my role! I must stand true, no challenge can break me Into danger I've always flown! Not golden fear or unseen shadows will shake me For I know I'm never alone! So I must stand true! Duty calls Across the void Calling me up From this small spheroid There's no question Of if I'll go It's how I'm built It's what I know Not Grayven Not Sinestro Not Umbrax Not Mongol Not Xanshi or Fatality or even my own mortality Can hold me back, I'll rise into the black Lifted by emerald flame born anew! And I'll stand true! And I'll stand true! True! And I'll stand true! ------------------------ Video made in: https://vizzy.io Lyrics by Cerulean Spire 2026 DC Comics owns this property; this is purely a fan-made homage with no monetary goals.
