Medicine Man
The Band of Heathens Lyrics

Across the land, I'm spoken of
My reputation precedes me and people acknowledge my existence in various parts of the world

Wise as a snake, tame as a dove
I possess the intelligence and cunning of a snake, but the gentle nature of a dove

Just like a wolf, in the sheep’s clothes
I resemble a sheep, but I have the power and strength of a wolf

Shake the dust off, before I go
I am always on the move, and I always leave a place clean and untouched by the time I leave

I'm your medicine man
I am the one who can heal and cure you of all your problems and ailments

I walk the land never seen before
My journey takes me to unexplored lands and territories where no one else has ventured before

I'm on a mission, conquistador
I am on a mission to conquer and overcome all obstacles in my way, just like the Spanish explorers who colonized the Americas

I'll be your slave, I'll be your king
I am willing to serve you and do your bidding, but I am also the one who can rule over you and help you achieve your goals

I'll be what you want, be your everything
I can be whoever you need me to be, and I can provide you with everything you desire

Got juju beads and a mojo drum
I possess the magical items and tools required for my healing powers, such as juju beads and a mojo drum

Gotta a whole lot more, where that come from
I have plenty more tricks and tools up my sleeve to help you, beyond just my magical items

I'll make a sign, I'll cross your head
I will create a symbol or gesture to represent your situation, and use it to focus my healing powers on you

Make you shake and dance, Gonna raise the dead
My healing powers will make you feel alive again, and even bring the deceased back to life

I'll take your pulse, I'll fix your health
I will examine and assess your physical condition, and provide the necessary treatment to improve your health

Give what you need, to save yourself
I will give you exactly what you need to save yourself and overcome any obstacles in your way

Might lose your house, might lose your home
You may face great losses and challenges in your life, including your home and personal possessions

But I'll give you back more than you have known
Despite the losses and challenges you face, I will provide you with more than you have ever known or experienced before

Put you in the black, gonna shake your bones
I will bring you good fortune and prosperity, and make you feel energized and revitalized

Your healer, your dealer, your only one
I am your one and only source for healing, guidance, and support

I'm your medicine man
I am the one who can cure and heal all your troubles, and provide you with the guidance and support you need to thrive
