Eurometal Challenge

Right, Whitney's doing this meme, so I'm going to as well - largely because no one will be able to answer any of them at all.* Here is the gist of it:

Step 1: Put your MP3 (or M4A if you're 1337) player on random.
Step 2: Post lyrics for the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. Unless it was written by Lisa Lougheed.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.

In all your fantasies
You always knew
That man and mystery
Were both in you

Phantom of the Opera - operahat. My particular version was done by Nightwish.

- 2 -

Evil Messiah - the world's set on fire
He promised salvation but sent you to hell
Almighty liar - satanic desire
A heart full of anger for no one to see

- 3 -

There's glory in the distance
For the ones that pay the price
Ignorance creates a subtle mind

- 4 -

On the twenty-third day of the month of September
in an early year of a decade not too long before our own,
the human race suddenly encountered a deadly
threat to its very existence.

Overture to Little Shop of Horrors - elliechan

- 5 -

I gave you my time
I gave you my whole life
I gave you my love, every dime
They told me it was a crime

- 6 -

Weiter, weiter ins Verderben
Wir müssen leben bis wir sterben
Der Mensch gehört nicht in die Luft
So der Herr im Himmel ruft

That other song by Rammstein that Pooka kept listening to - pookatimes

- 7 -

And now all the houses
Are rare antiquities.
American tourists flock to see the _________

- 8 -

Here I am, the _________
A lost fallen angel helping mankind where I can
My memories are there to save your world
For you I'm just the _________

- 9 -

Father can you hear me, did you talk to mother earth
What did they say, what did they see, now is time for your rebirth
Open up the silent center of your mind,
I now want to know the future of your kind

- 10 -

After the storm there's a calm
Through the clouds shines a ray of the sun
I am carried from all of my harm
There is no-one that I can't outrun

- 11 -

Deception of fame, vengeance of war, lives torn apart
Losing oneself, spiraling down, feeling the walls closing in
A journey to find
The answers inside
Our illusive mind

- 12 -

It's a miracle we need
Let our hearts unite, so our voices shake the earth
Let us walk away together from the never ending rain
'Til the sun will shine for all of us again

- 13 -

Where's the promised savior, the one who'll save the earth
Perhaps he'll come to bury us, perhaps it'll be too late
Who are they, who are the phantoms, will they end our lives
Maybe they're just you and me, open up your eyes

- 14 -

When I'm looking down on you I see
A wasted land, and the reason is humanity
I must gain control

- 15 -

Higher - It's what I expect from my life
It's like a wire that holds me back down to the ground
Oh I hear you say, "That's the way of the world"
No, hear what I say "I want to do so much in my way"

- 16 -

Things that you started
Are still undone
While you are wasting you precious life
The sleepless nights
Won't leave you be
You're going astray

- 17 -

Never will forgive you, never leave you
You know that if you live like, you will die like
How can I erase your pain and aid you
When Death wants to kiss you and you want kiss Him back...

- 18 -

I watch the children pray, while god just turns away
Out in the ruins they seek shelter
These streets were once my home
But those golden days are gone
Now I'm fighting to survive

- 19 -

Soothing but yet so violent
In this world within the other world
Moonlight in visions heaven sent
I see demon eyes and wings unfurled

- 20 -

I wrote you,
And told you,
You were the biggest fish out here,
You should have never gone to Hollywood.

- 21 -

I'm in this world to be alive
And I can give all they'll never find.
Sometimes I dream to cross the freedom way
"So now you are powerful" - Master guide me
[Ear shattering scream]

- 22 -

What I saw beyond the gate
Eternal darkness - our fate
In everlasting night
Deserted and destroyed
An empire without light

- 23 -

There's no way to stop the ancient ghost that is rising from his grave
Spilling a drop of hatred from his bowl
He senses the fear and misery, searching for fresh blood
Feeling hunger growing in his dark soul

Seeds of Sorrow by Ksahjsalkjdsaoif - kingradix

- 24 -

Dark night overwhelming bright light, see the demons fly
Can't trust your senses fear you'll have to die
Super mighty shadows casting amplitudes to ears
Sounds you've never heard that take you high

- 25 -

To this day I guess I'll never know
Just why they let me go
But I'll never go dancing no more
'Til I dance with the dead

* Apart from RaphX and Quadralien

I can guess some of the bands, but not the songs :( I'm too busy enjoying sounds and not paying attention to lyrics, in most cases.
