Help me decide on what song to use for a PoE music video.

I work as a music video creator. However, school, work, and general life keeps me from doing the majority of my ideas. This video contest thing (and the fact that I am so far ahead on everything in life atm, so impressive) has sparked a certain zest I had for this once more.
I only really have time to make one though, regardless, so some help in deciding is appreciated.
I have a couple of picks to choose from so far.
I'll have a number by the ones I think I'd prefer to do, or has the highest potential, before influence via the comments below (lowest being the most, highest being the least).

(4) Parasyte - Let Me Hear You English Cover AmaLee
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAAmkocOGwY
This is a rather appropriate lyrical piece, and I've got quite a few ideas for it. The tone and pace may prove to be an issue.

(1~2) ENGLISH "Kuusou Mesorogiwi" Future Diary (AmaLee & NateWantsToBattle)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaZ7NCQwmlE
The tone, beat, and lyrics all seem to be truly appropriate. I have great ideas for this one.

(3) Outlaw Star - Through the Night
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjvjfe1DPHM
Just plain bad ass. And it's japanese, so I can stick whatever the flock I want on it and it still works (except for the Japanese viewers, but who cares, hehe).

(5) ENGLISH "Wings of Freedom" Attack on Titan /Lullaby Ver/ (AmaLee)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPNew5WDlX8
Is also quite lyrically appropriate. Has the same potential issue as Parasyte.

(1~2) (Wings of Freedom) ENGLISH VERSION - MELIFIRY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq0zMYDrOl8
As above, but fixes the potential tone and pace problem. Not sure if I am 100% convinced by it though.

No, I'd prefer to keep it to the ones I've already got ideas for so far. Thanks for the attempted help though.
Depends on the stuff in your video, if a lot of intense fight, the second video, but if it's more like relaxed stuff or not only fights, the first one.

And don't forget to send us the link for the video.

Was planning on it. And thanks. I generally am able to adjust my videos to fit the music just fine. I was simply testing the waters to see what others preferred to see.

I'll be deciding once I get everything ready, and make sure I really am ahead on my IRL stuff. (Probably tomorrow).

Update: Added all the video I think I'm going to be using, expanded song list by 2. Gave a rating system for how successful I think they are going to be compared to eachother. (although they are all pretty good)
Music is personal preference and I personally don't like any of the suggested songs to be played alongside Path of Exile content.

Call me old fashioned but I prefer to keep immersion and stay true to the atmosphere GGG created visually and acoustically. My advice: use songs from the PoE soundtrack, because it's awesome!

Unless you're trying to do something like http://plays.tv/video/55ad56e3b1f2e7883e - in this case using a totally different soundtrack is the way to go :D

Anyway - I'm looking forward to the finished piece, no matter on what you decide!

edit: it says "PoE music video" - not only am I old fashioned, I also can't read (facepalm) ... still can't decide which one to use :/

Absolutely amazing machinima for what you can do in the game, lol.
Thanks dude.
You can maybe only use instrumental music, without singing.
It has a more intense feeling if the music choosen ist right.
You can maybe use dark instrumental music themes which is fitting for most part of act 4.
Masterpiece of 3.16 lore

Likely, though instrumentals don't really inspire much of a drive to make videos for me, most of the time.
