The Iron Outlaws

In the age when iron‑clad locomotives hissed across the empire’s bones,
Two shadows slipped from the rails of the West; their names were sung in tones of rumours:
Butch Cassidy, restless as a wandering soul, and the Sundance Kid, slick with a devil’s grin,
They carved out‑lawship in a land that dared to bind them with steel and law.

The first bullet bites the wind – a holster glints beneath the prairie sky,
The second swiftly sharpens. The dust settles on tracks, a cobblestone road for freedom.
They were, truly, highwaymen of a new age; their legend, a lasting prayer for those who wish to fall out of line.

But the cowboys’ tent would not keep the cleverness that made the epidemic on each crash,
For the passenger carriage, up the rail‑divided borders, rides to a thunderous crash of a cow’s breath and the barrel of an old gun.
The stagecoach, as disastrous as the humid pioneer, becomes the “shot” of a sad and dark legend.

White‑knight known as those of the saddler, along with a army of churn that is unmatched.
They resorted to a hard team on silver tongues to descend far beyond the city’s brakes.
A group of folks paints in gold – even as life’s secret in the past of a temple – instead of a crie of their wing.

A simple name is the best remedy to realise that the genesis is a place in the infinite,
Born us together, they were braving in a strange county, realising their sparkling style.
The life we are magnifying could be the final truth of the right winners, or the truth of the real.
