Lyrics
Hugo: Who does he think he is? Some storied hero come from far away There are no heroes here Just folks dying to live another day

Varian: What is his true intention? What game is he playing? I hate to admit it But he's right, we need someone to lead the way

Both: How much longer must I hold in my urge to pick a fight? How much time before I get his smug face out of my sight?

I'll keep the cards close to my chest I have the upper hand, does he know?

Varian: I hid my past

Hugo: I passed his test

Both: So here we go

Hugo: I'll play the helpful host

Varian: I'll let him think he's in control

Both: I'll keep my secrets close Oh, but I'm keeping him closer

Varian: Who does he think he is? A self-assured, arrogant charmer He'll never have me fooled I'll thicken up my armour

Hugo: He's got me seething 'cause Despite the role he's playing He is nothing special Just some kid of a random farmer

Both: How much longer must I spend each moment on the attack? How much time before I get his prying eyes off my back?

I'll keep the cards close to my chest I have the upper hand, can he tell?

Hugo: It's ride or die

Varian: The die is cast

Both: So give him hell

Hugo: I'll play the helpful host

Varian: I'll wait till his surface starts to crack

Both: I'll keep my secrets close

Varian: Oh, but I'm keeping him closer

Hugo: But doesn't he remind you of someone? All bright-eyed and eager to learn

Varian: Doesn't he remind you of someone? He keeps watch over his shoulder at every turn

Hugo: Keep watch over your shoulder at every turn

Both: I'll keep the cards close to my chest I have the upper hand, set to win

Hugo: I'll best the odds

Varian: I'll do my best

Both: So let's begin

Hugo: I'll be his helpful host

Varian: I'll wait my turn and call his bluff

Both: I'll keep my secrets close Oh, but I'm keeping him closer

Oh, oh, oh
