Well....

A "charging steed" would refer to a charging horse, like a charging bull, right? My guess is that phrase is poetic is some way. I forgot that part of the song, so I couldn't recall what the rest is. But thar phrase within itself means little. What's important is the context that it's in.

Hopefully those help. So basicly, a horse rushing forward.

"Iron Shadow's cast" might stand for "Iron that is covered in Shadow colour"

(dictionary) - cast: overspreading of one thing onto another: the overspreading of something, especially an added color, that results in modification of the hue or general appearance of something else

Shadow casts (covers) the iron with it's "colour"

Word "cast" has a zillion meanings, so that's just one way of seeing it. Or TRYING to see it...

...something like that?

The "iron shadow's cast" is all that's in the "iron shadow". I think it is implying a land controled by evil. Similar to the iron curtain.
