Words that rhyme with Lamented
The phonetic facts first: lamented is three-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the centred /ษ/, and the line ends with a clean stop. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. It serves as an unguarded everyday word in most lyrics. Run rhymes for lamented through any half-decent engine and you get this shape: the perfect pool is workable but compact, the family column is blank, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. The slant pool is huge enough that you'll never need to repeat a rhyme.

Why lamented rhymes the way it does
In our engine, lamented registers as a three-syllable word on the front /ษ/ (/ษ/) that ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 45 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 149, assonance 12,595, and consonance 69. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Lamented rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
