Words that rhyme with Eternity
Treated as a thinking-word, eternity is also a four-syllable sound-shape on the high /ษช/ โ one that opens out at the end. Songwriters anchor it with an image to keep the line from floating. The word arrives in song as an idea-word looking for a body. Look up rhymes for eternity and you'll get a particular story: the strict column is unhelpful here, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from.

Why eternity rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for eternity starts at the vowel โ the clipped /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 108, assonance 4,742, and consonance 340. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Eternity works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
