<p>This is only vaguely an answer to my question, but: <a href="http://vgmdb.net/album/50322" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the second OST</a> included the piece "Harmonious" (also used as the ED for episode 23), which is a vocal piece to roughly the same melody as "AL℃-@" (this is a standard Sawano trick, as with "MKAlieZ" vs. "aLIEz"; "アZ-Kat" vs. "A/Z"; and so forth). Like "AL℃-@", it has <a href="https://clyp.it/22xlf40w" rel="nofollow noreferrer">a 16-bar vocal introduction from 0:19 to 0:35</a> (albeit in 3/4 rather than 4/4), but with actual comprehensible lyrics:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>煌めく欠片<br>

<p>Roughly,</p>

  <p>The shining fragments, falling through the sky, concealed the door to the future.</p>

<p>Now, this clearly <em>isn't</em> what Cyua is singing in AL℃-@, but as <a href="https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/16686/what-is-cyua-singing-at-the-beginning-of-al%E2%84%83/18413#comment26814_18413">mivilar  noticed in the comments on Cole's answer</a>, Cyua distinctly appears to be singing the word 未来 <em>mirai</em> "future", and it lines up with what the singer (Amamiya Sora / Asseylum) is singing in the third four-bar segment of the introduction to "Harmonious".

<p>Sounds like "Mirai Dorama, Aldnoah" vocally stylized as "Mi-Rai Du-Ra-Ma, Ald-No-Ah", Or, "Meer-Haii Doo-Rah-Mah, Aald-Noh-Ahh".</p>

<p>Or, in English, maybe something like: "Future Drama Aldnoah".</p>

<p>At the beginning of "AL℃-@" (track 09 on the Aldnoah.Zero soundtrack), before the German lyrics ("Ich reich dir meine Hand" and so forth) kick in around 0:46, the vocalist (Cyua) is singing something. Whatever it is, it's not part of the printed lyrics, and it contains the word "Aldnoah". Beyond that, I'm not sure what she's singing. </p>

<p>I doubt that there are any official lyrics for that part of the track, but perhaps someone who has learned how to parse Hiroyuki Sawano's mangled German could weigh in?</p>

<p>Here is a short extract of the segment in question: <a href="http://clyp.it/h3hfpevb" rel="nofollow">http://clyp.it/h3hfpevb</a></p>

This is only vaguely an answer to my question, but: [the second OST](http://vgmdb.net/album/50322) included the piece "Harmonious" (also used as the ED for episode 23), which is a vocal piece to roughly the same melody as "AL℃-@" (this is a standard Sawano trick, as with "MKAlieZ" vs. "aLIEz"; "アZ-Kat" vs. "A/Z"; and so forth). Like "AL℃-@", it has [a 16-bar vocal introduction from 0:19 to 0:35](https://clyp.it/22xlf40w) (albeit in 3/4 rather than 4/4), but with actual comprehensible lyrics:

> 煌めく欠片  
> 降り注ぐ空に  
> 未来繋ぐドア  
> 隠した

Roughly,

> The shining fragments, falling through the sky, concealed the door to the future.

Now, this clearly *isn't* what Cyua is singing in AL℃-@, but as [mivilar noticed in the comments on Cole's answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/16686/what-is-cyua-singing-at-the-beginning-of-al%E2%84%83/18413#comment26814_18413), Cyua distinctly appears to be singing the word 未来 *mirai* "future", and it lines up with what the singer (Amamiya Sora / Asseylum) is singing in the third four-bar segment of the introduction to "Harmonious". Unfortunately, I have difficulty identifying any other correspondences between the known lyrics in the introduction to "Harmonious" and the unknown lyrics in the introduction to "AL℃-@".
