A cinq heures cinquante-cinq
Awake with open eyes
A drift upon the night
And miles away from land[Chorus]
Five fifty five
Five fifty fiveA cinq heures cinquante-cinq
Ante meridiem
Too late to end it now
Too early to start again[Chorus]Soon the morning will arrive
Can I begin another day
Whilst this old day is still alive
Refusing to be put awayFive fifty five
No sleep tonight
Five fifty fiveLike a beast awaits its faith
Laid here with time to kill
The very dead of night
Where time and space stand still[Chorus]A cinq heures cinquante-cinq
Nothing will ever change
On the altar of my thought
I sacrifice myself again and again and again[Chorus]
