I've seen this quiz, or a very close variant, before. #2 is Uruguay or Peru, depending on your trivia source. #8 is crimson.

Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...
