“Voice in the Shadows” is an atmospheric, emotional rock ballad that fuses 80s-inspired electronic pop with soft rock. The haunting atmosphere, driven by vintage drum machines, subtle synth pads, and sorrowful guitar riffs, carries the listener through a journey of redemption. The male baritone vocals create an intimate, introspective mood, while the chorus builds in intensity and emotional depth, ultimately breaking free in a cathartic moment of grace. A song of running, redemption, and returning to the voice of mercy, “Voice in the Shadows” speaks to the heart of those searching for freedom from shame, finding peace in God’s calling.

Lyrics

Chorus 1
Your voice is calling through the shadows, oh God
And I've been running from Your mercy all these years, oh God
Your voice is calling through the shadows, oh God, oh God

Verse 1
If You spoke of my redemption
I would struggle to believe
All my shame laid out before me
Every wound I couldn't heal

Chorus 2
Your voice is calling through the shadows, oh God
And I've been running from Your mercy all these years, oh God
Your voice is calling through the shadows, oh God, oh God

Verse 2
Still I know what You have spoken
That Your grace will never end
There upon the hill at Calvary
Three days later risen again

Bridge Build
Now You're taking all my failures
Everything I've done alone
Every sin is washed by mercy
Finally bringing me back home

Chorus
Your voice is calling through the shadows, oh God
And I've been waiting for Your presence all my life, oh God
Your voice is calling through the shadows, oh God

Explosive Drum Break
(Drum machine stops, MASSIVE gated reverb acoustic drum fill, bass guitar enters, full volume increase, powerful vocal)

Final Chorus
Your voice is calling through the shadows, oh God
And I've been running from Your mercy all these years, oh God
Your voice is calling through the shadows, oh God, oh God

Outro (Fade)
Your voice is calling through the shadows, oh God
Your voice is calling through the shadows, oh God
And I've been waiting for Your presence all my life, oh God

Time Slowing Down
