Why invasion rhymes the way it does
Pull invasion apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the front /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 770 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 260, assonance 5,064, and consonance 55. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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 invasion, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
