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

(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!
