Insert a new line before every 5th line in a file

Hi,

I need to insert a new line containing the string "QUERY" above every 5 lines.

The below piece of code inserts a new line after every 5th line
Code:
awk '{print $0} !(NR%5) {print "QUERY"}'

sed 'n;n;n;n;G;' --> I do not know how to give "QUERY" string here

But I need to insert it before every 5th line.
