An alternative is to explicitly specify the duration of each syllable instead of using \addlyrics, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Entering-lyrics.html#Entering%20lyrics

Dear Oddmund,
Is it (yet) possible to write "Rezitationstöne" (tuba, tenor) -- I don't know the word for it in English -- that is e.g. a breve with more text under one note? I write much church music where I often need to have a lot of text on one note or one chord. I know that Lilypond can handle more notes to one syllable, but this is the other way round.
Off the top of my head, quoting the text should work:
Re -- qui -- "em ae - ter - nam do - na" e -- is
I think that will work. I use the following, though:
Re -- qui -- em_ae-ter-nam_do-na e -- is
Regards,
Martin
