Aloha John,

At the very least, it’s lazy and unclear engraving.

The convention in a case like this is something closer to the following:

\version "2.25.10"

global = {
  \time 4/4
  \key b \major
  \tempo 4=80
}

mel =  \relative c' {
  \global
  r4 << \context Voice = "melody" { \voiceOne s8 fis8 } \\ \new CueVoice { 
\voiceTwo fis8[ 8] } >> \oneVoice fis[ gis ais b] |
  gis4 dis8[ ais'~] ais4 r4 | 
}

lyrA = \lyricmode {
  and though they did hurt me so bad __
  in the fear and a
}

lyrB = \lyricmode {
  \tweak self-alignment-X #0.75 "but it's" writ -- ten in the star -- light __ _
  and ev' -- ry line on your
}
0
\score {
  \layout { indent = 0 ragged-right = ##f }
  <<
    \new Staff \new Voice = "melody" << \global \mel >> 
    \addlyrics \lyrA
    \addlyrics \lyrB
  >>
}



Hope that helps!
Kieren.
