Yeah, a medicine man is the guy who heals in a tribe, but that doesn't really fit the lyrics here. I mean, read the lines:
"The devil's heart
With angel's words"
Drugs are bad for your health but it's easy getting addicted. Very easy.
"Have you wondered what heaven's like?
He can show you in one night"
Seems to me like those lines are about psychotropic hallucinogens.
"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"
That whole verse is about addiction and how it consumes you.
