Still / The Neva Flows (Reprise)

Lyrics

[ANYA, spoken] Gleb [GLEB] An 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 [ENSEMBLE] Ah-ah [GLEB] My father shook his head and told me not to ask My mother said he died of shame [ENSEMBLE] Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah [ANYA, spoken] In me you see them. Look at their faces in mine Hear their screams. Imagine their terrors See their blood! [GLEB] But I believe he did a proud and vital task And in my father's name [ENSEMBLE] Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah [ANYA, spoken] 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!
