Macbeth (or The Tragedy of Macbeth) is a 1971 British-American film adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth. Directed by Roman Polanski, it retells the story of the Highland lord who becomes King of Scotland through treachery and murder. The film stars Jon Finch as Macbeth and Francesca Annis as Lady Macbeth.
Macbeth was made by Polanski in the aftermath of the murder of his pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, and several of his friends by members of the Manson Family at his house in Beverly Hills on the night of August 9, 1969. Following the murders, Polanski quit the film project he was working on, The Day of the Dolphin, and sank into deep psychological depression, blaming himself for the tragedy. After months of grieving Tate's death, he set to adapting Shakespeare's Macbeth with the aid of British theatre critic Kenneth Tynan.

Every day that goes by
Is dead and gone
Every step along the way
Fades to grey
Don’t include me in your dreams
I’m dead and gone
Every single moment dies
Never enough
And the point if there is one
Never enough
Is that all precious time goes by
Don’t include me in your dreams
We’re dead and gone
Every single moment dies
Never enough
And the point if there is one
Never enough
Is that all precious time goes by
Never enough
You will wake up one day
Never enough
