Still/The Neva Flows (Reprise)

[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

(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
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

[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!
