[Verse 1] In nineteen twenty-one she came, a mystery wrapped in pain Said "I'm Anastasia, sole survivor of the reign" Anna Anderson was her name, but was her story true? For sixty years the world would wait for science to break through [Chorus] DNA sequence alignment, letter by letter compare Match the patterns, find the truth that's hiding there Mitochondrial analysis, passed from mother's line When the algorithms finish, truth will shine [Verse 2] The Romanov family met their fate in nineteen seventeen But Anderson claimed she escaped that tragic scene She lived her life insisting on her royal blood so blue While scientists developed ways to test if claims were true [Chorus] DNA sequence alignment, letter by letter compare Match the patterns, find the truth that's hiding there Mitochondrial analysis, passed from mother's line When the algorithms finish, truth will shine [Bridge] When Anderson died in eighty-four, they saved her tissue samples Nineteen ninety-four brought algorithms with examples Compare her DNA sequences to the Romanov remains The computer calculations breaking through deception's chains [Verse 3] The alignment algorithms spoke with crystal clarity No match to royal bloodlines, no genetic similarity But deeper searching found her truth, Franziska was her name A Polish factory worker playing history's longest game [Chorus] DNA sequence alignment, letter by letter compare Match the patterns, find the truth that's hiding there Mitochondrial analysis, passed from mother's line When the algorithms finish, truth will shine [Outro] Sixty years of mystery solved by sequences so small DNA alignment algorithms, the greatest truth of all No more Romanov pretenders, the case is finally closed When science meets the algorithm, that's how truth is exposed
