You can try to quote the commas using clamps, use "schreit{,}" instead of 
"schreit," (without quotation, of course).
It gives you a lot of annoying warning, but the output looks allright.

The probably better way is of course using the \addlyrics command
You could paste it after the "\context ChoirStaff <<" line and leave only the 
text into you lyrics-section. I didn't try this very hard on your score, so I 
had both lyrics added to the melody of the upper score (but with or without 
comma corectly), but that was just a diplacement of the addlyrics-command. If 
you want to add the down-lyrics below the lower staff, the you could use one 
addlyrics before "\contextStaff = Sopran" and one before "\contextStaff = 
Bass" and then put the lyricsContext after each staff. But I'm sure it also 
works for the lyrics in the middle of your ChoirStaff. Just look into the 
documentation

(assuming you are using 2.0.x)
