Paradox - The Beginning, Middle and the End lyrics

It is cold dark and quiet. Nothing seems to exist. Empty space all around, Confusion surrounds. A bright flash of light. Now, a vast lighted land. I exist, I've come to beginning. I can hear touch and smell. Like a diamond I've been molded from minerals, Kept away in pressure and From light. Now, I've been discovered. I wonder if I'm alive, Maybe I'm dead or Just a thought caught in this land. I am one, I am many. I give life to lifelines, I give shape to the inanimate. One thing is sure I'm existence, the beginning.
