[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!
