Medicine Man Lyrics
Pantera
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 devils heart
With angels words
Have you wondered
What heavens 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 theres no question
Where you have to go
Understand just take his hand
Hes 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 hells like?
He can take you there
Just one taste and youll be back
And by the high youll swear
Intoxication
Seeping down to the bone
And theres no question
Where you have to go
Understand just take his hand
Hes the medicine man
