.
Rules:

- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then.
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

IMPORTANT FOR ALL NEW VOTERS! If this is your first vote in the contest, please copy/paste the following into your post or your vote will not be counted:
I certify that I have read the rules, listened to both songs, and am making my decision based on the quality of the songs present.

(Sorry, we have to do these things in the final rounds, after the way the year with Megalovania ended.)

Song lyric trivia: In your darkest dreams see to believe. Our destiny is time, and endlessly we'll all be free tonight. And on the wings of a dream, so far beyond reality, all alone in desperation, now the time has gone. Lost inside you'll never find. Lost within my own mind. Day after day this misery must go on. So far awaaay we wait for the daayeeayyy, for the lives all so wasted and gone. We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days....we carry on.
