given the nature of the phenomena and the fear and superstitions associated with them, it’s perhaps not surprising to learn that solar eclipses have altered the course of history. for example, the battle of halys occurred in the 6th century bce and was the culmination of a 15-year war between the lydians of modern-day turkey and the medes of modern-day iran. on may 28th, 585 bce, the two armies were engaged in a battle near the halys river (now the kızılırmak river) in turkey when a total solar eclipse darkened the skies. interpreting the event as a warning from their gods, the combatants laid down their weapons as their kings declared a ceasefire and negotiated a treaty.

lyrics:
new friends prolly hate me, im cryin bout you 
alone in my room, i should probably text you
it's bad to wait for you but it's all i'll do
the worst part about it is i'm still your moon
it's all i could be, i'm not shit without you
i know that you love me, but fuck i need you
can't stand it no more, need your scent in my room
if this goes away, i hope god takes me too

eclipse.
