[Anya:]
Gleb
[Gleb:]
An underhanded girl
An act of desperation
And to my consternation
I let you go
Well, not this time
Paris is no place for a good and loyal Russian
[Anya:]
We are both good and loyal Russians
[Gleb:]
I've come to take you home
[Anya:]
My home is here now
[Gleb:]
Stop playing this game, Anya!
I beg you
[Anya:]
We both know it's not a game Gleb
[Gleb:]
If you really are Anastasia
Do you think history wants you to have lived?
[Anya:]
Yes!
Why don't you?
[Gleb:]
The Romanovs were given everything
And they gave back nothing
Until the Russian people rose up and destroyed them
[Anya:]
All but one
Finish it
I am my father's daughter
[Gleb:]
And I am my father's son!
[Gun clicks]
Finish it I must
My father shook his head and told me not to ask
My mother said he died of shame
[Anya:]
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:]
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!
