Played the OP several times a day. Might as well post the link and the lyrics here...
CONNECT is the OP song and is sung by ClariS, famous for "irony" the OP for Oreimo. Supposed to be a duo of 2 girls still in junior high but they never show their faces...

交わした約束忘れないよ 眼をとじ 確かめる
押し寄せた闇 振り払って進むよ
いつになったら 無くした未来を
私ここでまた見ることできるの?
あふれだした不安の影を
何度でも裂いてこの世界歩んでく
とめどなく刻まれた 時は今始まり告げ
変わらない思いをのせ 閉ざされた扉開けよう
目覚めた心は走り出した 未来をえがくため
難しい道で立ち止まっても 空は
きれいな青さで いつも待っててくれる
だから怖くない もう何があってもくじけない

Lyrics: Watanabe Sho
Composition: Watanabe Sho
kawashita yakusoku wasurenai yo
me wo toji tashikameru
oshiyoseta yami
furiharatte susumu yo
itsu ni nattara nakushita mirai wo
watashi koko de mata miru koto dekiru no
afuredashita fuan no kage wo
nando demo saite kono sekai ayundekou
tomedonaku kizamareta
toki wa ima hajimari tsuge
kawaranai omoi wo nose
tozasareta tobira akeyou
mezameta kokoro wa hashiridashita mirai wo egaku tame
muzukashii michi de tachidomattemo sora wa
kirei na aosa de itsumo mattetekureru dakara kowakunai
mou nani ga atte mo kujikenai
TranslationI won’t forget the promise we made; I’ll close my eyes and ascertain it
Shaking off the darkness that closed in on me, I advance on
When will I be able to see here
The future, which I lost, again?
I’ll tear apart the overflowing shadow of distress
No matter how many times, and walk on in this world
The time that ticked away ceaselessly now announces the beginning
I’ll pick up my unchanging feelings and open the closed door
To draw the future where my awakened heart starts running
Even if I come to a standstill on a difficult road
The sky is always waiting for me in a beautiful blue, so I’m not scared
No matter what happens, I won’t get disheartened
The ED never has a full sequence shown until Episode 3. And it is a pretty dark melody and arrangement. It is also used in some of the battle scenes as background music too.
MAGIA is the ENDING song and is sung by Kalafina. Kalafina is a group composed of 3 girls and formed originally to sing the songs from the anime Kara no Kyōkai. They also sang the OP for Sora no Woto.

いつか君が 瞳に灯す
愛の光が 時を越えて
滅び急ぐ 世界の夢を
確かに一つ 壊すだろう
躊躇いを飲み干して
君が望むものは何?
こんな欲深い憧れの行方に
儚い明日はあるの?
子供の頃に夢に見てた
古の魔法のように
闇さえ砕く力で微笑む
君に会いたい
怯えるこの手の中には
手折られた花の勇気
想いだけが頼る全て
光を呼び覚ます願い

Lyrics: Kajiura Yuki
Composition: Kajiura Yuki
Arrangement: Kajiura Yuki
Itsuka kimi ga hitomi ni tomosu
Ai no hikari ga toki o koete
Horobiisogu sekai no yume o
Tashika ni hitotsu kowasu darou
Tamerai o nomihoshite
Kimi ga nozomu mono wa nani?
Konna yokubukai akogare no yukue ni
Hakanai ashita wa aru no?
Kodomo no koro ni yume ni miteta
Inishie no mahou no you ni
Yami sae kudaku chikara de hohoemu
Kimi ni aitai
Obieru kono te no naka ni wa
Taorareta hana no yuuki
Omoi dake ga tayoru subete
Hikari o yobisamasu negai
TranslationSomeday the light of love
that you lit in your eyes will transcend time
And you’ll certainly destroy one of the dreams
of a world racing towards ruin, right?
Drinking up your hesitation
What is it that you desire?
In the course of a yearning as greedy as this
Does a fleeting tomorrow exist?
Like the ancient magic
that I saw in my dreams during my childhood
You smile with the power to shatter even the darkness
I want to see you
In my frightened hands
I have the courage of a plucked flower
Everything that only my feelings depend on
is a wish to awaken the light
By the way, the end of the ED. Does it look like a mask? Scary.....
