Secondly, it's "Strike while the IRON is hot". Not fire.
For your information, fire is always hot.
i am aware of the common usage of the phrase. now that i think of it , "strike while the fire burns blue" has more originality to it dont you think ?

Finally, shock waves are waves that are moving faster than the speed of sound within a specified medium (e.g air, water or solid). Thus, they do not "echo". They create sonic booms (if the waves are propagated through air).
Your metaphor is, alas, flawed.
"echo throughout eternity" is a common phrase in writing, albeit scientifically inaccurate. i am aware of this
