Still/The Neva flows (reprise)

[GLEB]

And underhanded girl

An act of desperation

And to my consternation

I let you go

(spoken)

Well not this time

Paris is no place for a good and loyal Russian

[ANYA, spoken]

We are both good and loyal Russians

[GLEB, spoken]

I’ve come to take you home

[ANYA, spoken]

My home is here now

[GLEB, spoken]

Stop playing this game, Anya!

I beg you

[ANYA, spoken]

We both know it’s not a game Gleb

[GLEB, spoken]

If you really are Anastasia

Do you think history wants you to have lived?

[ANYA, spoken]

Yes!

Why don’t you?

[GLEB, spoken]

The Romanovs were given everything

And they gave back nothing

Until the Russian people rose up and destroyed them

[ANYA, spoken]

All but one

Finish it

I am my father’s daughter

[GLEB, spoken]

And I am my father’s son!

(gun clicks)

Finish it I must

(sung)

My father shook his head and told me not to ask

My mother said he died of shame

[ANYA, spoken]

In me you see them

Look at their faces in mine

Here their screams

Imagine their terrors

See their blood

[GLEB]

But I believe he did proud and vital task

And in my father's name

[ANYA, spoken]

Do it

Do it and I will be with my parents and my brother and sisters

In that cellar in Yekaterinburg all over again

[GLEB]

The children

Their voices

A man makes painful choices

He does what’s necessary, Anya

For Russia, my beauty

What choice but simple duty

We have a past to bury, Anya

[ENSEMBLE]

And the Neva flows, a new wind blows

[GLEB & ENSEMBLE]

And soon it will be spring

The leaves unfold, the Tsar lies cold

[GLEB]

Be careful what a dream may bring!

A revolution is a simple thing!
