Hi David, 

follow the link given by Simon. There you'll find that the extent of the
barlines is set to
      '(-0.05 . 0.05)
by default. They appear as a very small point. 

% -------------------------------------------------------------------
\version "2.19.25"
\new Lyrics
\with {
  \consists "Bar_engraver"
  % comment the following line out and the barlines will shrink again:
  \override BarLine.bar-extent = #'(-1.5 . 2.5)
}
{
  \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
  \lyricmode { one2 two one two one two }
}
% -------------------------------------------------------------------

Cheers, 
Klaus
