FLAC supports Application-specific metadata blocks. Although I am
not aware of any which are specific to lyrics, you could create your
own. If nothing exists, and you were to make a proposal for review
by the community, then I'm sure you could start a new standard.
On that topic, what
FLAC already handles Vorbis comments, why not just put the lyrics into a
comment? All the existing players are likely to look there anyway. I know
that's what I did when I wrote the plugins for MediaCenter.

Both MPEG-4 File Format (mp4) and Matroska (mkv) have an interesting
format for lyrics and subtitles. Since these container formats can
contain multiple contain streams, lyrics or subtitles are just another
stream interleaved with the rest of the data. They are synchronized by
having timestamps

there are already 2 ways to stuff lyrics in MP3's, a basic text one and a
complex time-stamped one, that's your best chance if you want players (or
rather plugins in popular players) to ever read them
