Why immortal rhymes the way it does
The phonology of immortal is a three-syllable core: the short /æ/ (/æ/), then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 114, assonance 9,492, and consonance 11. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With immortal, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
