You have two options: - specify syllabe durations manually, as described in Notation Reference 2.1.3 "Manual Syllabe Durations" http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Aligning-lyrics-to-a-melody#Manual-syllable-durations, this way you can have ties where they are (but there will be some problems with some syllabes being improperly left-aligned) - do as Bill suggested: remove tie. The second option is better because it is more logical: a tie means that two notes should be merged and sound as one, but that's impossible because singing two syllabes makes two sounds. The situation is similar when there is a slur across some notes: the slur means that the notes should "be performed without any perceptible interruption between them" (music glossary 1.166), but if you sing many syllabes over a slurred passage, there certainly will be perceptible interruption between notes. Note that this situation is different when /phrasing slur/ is used (unfortunately phrasing slur looks exactly like a regular slur...).
