Lyrics:

This song is about drug dealers and addicts. It tells how at first the drugs from the ‘medicine man’ help the addicts, but they eventually go insane.
Many distant miles away
Past the shores of ever dark
There stays a magic man
Who bears an evil mark
He helps all concerned
Those who come again return
Injecting lies while fires burn
The devil's heart with angel's words

Have you wondered what heaven's like?
He can show you in one night
Overwhelming with euphoric lift
To lure you, to steal your gift

Intoxication
Seeping down to the bone
And there's no question
Where you have to go

Understand, just take his hand
He's the medicine man
Understand, just take his hand
He's the medicine man

Once proud and fearless men
With desire in their eyes
Lost strong and fruitful lives
To self-indulgent ties
Their souls were dipped in venom
And put into a box
Then placed upon a crowded shelf
Where countless souls now rot

Have you ever wondered what hell's like?
He can take you there
Just one taste, and you'll be back
And by the high, you'll swear

Intoxication
Seeping down to the bone
And there's no question
Where you have to go

Understand, just take his hand
He's the medicine man
Understand, just take his hand
He's the medicine man


Understand, just take his hand
He's the medicine man
Understand, just take his hand
He's the medicine man
