Welcome to hell (2)

After listening to the tune for the chorus I've got an idea for its text. I had noted the pattern - the number of syllables - as:
3 - 6
3 - 5 - 1
3 - 6
3 - 1

The melody seems to require an exact match, other than the stuff I use to write for Holger. Blues and Blues-Rock normally are quite tolerant with respect to extra notes, i.e. syllables. This isn't.

The stresses (X) would look like this:
X - - X - - X - X
X - - X - - X X .
X - - X - - X - X
X - - X

As for the last line "Welcome to hell", i.e. the title of the song, fits perfectly. For the first line I came up with the idea "this is the land of the ignorant". In the second line the intonation differs, and there is a short, unstressed note at the end. I simply put in "and", and tried to go from there.

Here is the result:

this is the land of the ignorant
here you can choke on their chatter and
you'll find them all quite intolerant
welcome to hell

I needed a thesaurus (synonym dictionary) to find "chatter". "Gossip" wouldn't quite match what I had in mind, and I needed two syllables. "Prattle" or "tattle" seemed too uncommon or old-fashioned, I'd never heard these terms, anyway.

As to my ideas for the verses, I think that I can still use the image of being born into hell. But I cannot use the idea of hell after death, that wouldn't fit together with the chorus.

A dark, menacing text would not fit with the tune at all, as much as the title may suggest it. The melody is rather nice and lovely, so an ironic or sardonic text seems appropriate.
