Look at it, they split up the 'lyric poem' and 'music' definitions of the nouns. Why could that be? Maybe because they are different?
The part which you quoted relates to lyric as an
ADJECTIVE. Moley mentioned 'poems' and 'lyrics' which in that context were undoubtably the noun forms and you argued back with the definition of the word as an adjective.
Get your act together!
