Behind the Songs With Runaway City…

Drummer Chris Burrow shares the inspiration behind “Daybreak,” from Runaway City’s June 22, 2010, debut release, Armored Heart:

“At the time we wrote this song, a friend of ours was wandering down the wrong path and struggling with making bad choices. The lyrics are a plea to him to wake up and come back to the place he needed to be. It’s a great metaphor for God’s guidance. Every time we mess up, God is that beacon directing us back home.” —Chris Burrow

Heaven's Metal

When rock emerged from blues and 'heavy metal' began to surface, faith-based metal acts also rose to start their own journeys. Initially shunned by both believers and non-believers, they were fighting for their spot at the table, ultimately building a legacy that would go on to change the genre forever. HM presents an oral history of the beginning of Christian metal music, featuring Guardian, Tourniquet, Holy Soldier, Whitecross, and, of course, Stryper.
