That's because you didn't put anything in the \repeat volta 2 { ... } section prior to starting the \alternative { { ... } { ... } } section.

Oh, and you'll probably want to NOT use \repeat here at all, but enter them as separate Lyrics, adding necessary \skip in the second verse to go into the 2nd alternative ending, like

I do not find  the \skip documentation, please point to the chapter of the documentation.

In the section I pointed you to, second to last example (at least on the English version), you should see this:

%%%%%%%%%

\score {

  <<

    \new Staff {

      \time 2/4

      \new Voice = "melody" {

        \relative {

          \repeat volta 2 { b'4 b ~}

          \alternative { { b b } { b \repeatTie c } }

          c4 c

        }

      }

    }

    \new Lyrics {

      \lyricsto "melody" {

        Here's a __ verse.

        \repeat unfold 2 { \skip 1 }

      }

    }

    \new Lyrics {

      \lyricsto "melody" {

        Here's one

        \repeat unfold 2 { \skip 1 }

        more to sing.

      }

    }

  >>

}

%%%%%%%%%

\skip does just what you might assume--it skips you ahead some amount. The amount you give the \skip command is arbitrary in the Lyrics context, meaning that it will ALWAYS only skip a single syllable, which is why the example uses \repeat unfold 2 { \skip 1 } in order to skip the correct number of notes in the second alternate ending. Of course you could type \skip 1 \skip 1 \skip 1 ... for as many as you need, but you decide which is more convenient.
