Making sand candles is fun... the instructions are easy to find, you might make a bit of a mess.
The sea god Lir wants you to know that if you go messing about down at the shore he expects you to leave a token for his trouble otherwise you gonna drown.
He also advises not to drink the salt water, probably because he wants it all for himself.
Longer version in the works (lucky world!).
lyrics
A flame alight upon the sand
a bounty laid on woven reeds
in the rising tide I come to thee
and upon the ebb you shall leave with me
Follow not my beckoning sheen
of blue and grey and green
drink ye not of my poison draught
or be as sailors in tempests lost
Come pour the wax into the sand
light Lammas candles to the king
I will quench the flame with the blood of life
and ye shall bring your fruits to me
