Words that rhyme with Avenge
Avenge belongs to the two-syllable group; its vowel is the centred /ษ/, and it lets the line ring through a nasal. The lyric tradition treats it as an unguarded everyday word. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: no strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, the assonance column dwarfs the others. Take the lyric role separately and it's a common-tongue word. The slant pool is huge enough that you'll never need to repeat a rhyme.

Why avenge rhymes the way it does
Avenge sits on the short /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 53, assonance 10,972, and consonance 62. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Avenge is a word that benefits from the second pass.
