In fields of iron, where shadows creep, Beneath the moon where secrets sleep, There lies a tale of courage bold, Where hearts are forged from iron and gold. Through trials vast, they journeyed on, In darkness deep, their light had shone. With spirits strong, they faced the cold, Embracing strength, both iron and gold. Through valleys low and mountains high, Their bonds of friendship never die. In every trial, a story's told, Of resilience, both iron and gold. So let us cherish, bold and bright, The blend of iron, gold's pure light. For in life's forge, our dreams unfold, Crafting futures, iron and gold.
