The first track of our first album, the self-titled 'Gate To Alpha Centauri'.
Join us as we blast off with the spacecraft Centauri One to journey to the stargate.

Centauri One, you are cleared and ready for blast-off

1:00

Star-rocking to our destination
Set the controls for the next space station
Up there, where there is no air
To Alpha Centauri, if we dare

1:41

Fasten your seatbelt for a wild ride
On starlight we're gonna glide
Out past the planets and the setting sun
Press the button, let the rockets run

Moving so fast that I can't see
G-force is crushing me
No time to breathe as the thrusters roar
Leaving Earth behind, can't take no more

3:10
Out of orbit and out of our minds
Leaving Earth and the world behind
Weightless and far from home
Blasting out through the danger zone
