will this do it for you:

> lapply(seq(length(list1)), function(i)rbind(list1[[i]], list2[[i]]))
[[1]]
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,]    1    6   11   16   21
[2,]    2    7   12   17   22
[3,]    3    8   13   18   23
[4,]    4    9   14   19   24
[5,]    5   10   15   20   25
[6,]   10   11   12   13   14

[[2]]
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,]    2    7   12   17   22
[2,]    3    8   13   18   23
[3,]    4    9   14   19   24
[4,]    5   10   15   20   25
[5,]    6   11   16   21   26
[6,]   11   12   13   14   15
