A lyrically arresting, subtly satirical poem on mankind's progress from Eden presented by "Compelling" female vocals and unpretentious guitars.

In the beginning there was a tree
All hung with apples, sweet as can be
What harm an apple, one apple from the tree
A little knowledge will surely set us free
We crossed the oceans, we learnt to fly
Unpicked the helix, forgetting why
We split the atom, our flag unfurled
A little knowledge will surely light the World
We left the garden to claim the Earth
Weighed up creation to calculate its worth
Struck out for heaven, built towers to the clouds
A little knowledge has surely made us proud
What harm an apple, one apple from the tree?
