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.

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?

Here is a short extract of the segment in question: <http://clyp.it/h3hfpevb>

What is Cyua singing at the beginning of "AL℃-@"?


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℃-@".

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".

Or, in English, maybe something like: "Future Drama Aldnoah".
