If you have no melody, you might try the method of entering a "temporary melody" to allow you to enter note-based lyrics. This allows you to associate the words with a specific time in the event list. Enter a note (any note) per beat in the first bar, then copy and paste to the second bar, repeating the paste X number of times. Then you can enter note-based lyrics. Later, you can delete your melody, leaving only the lyrics. It might sound complicated but is actually fairly easy to set that up.
