Words that rhyme with Raging
The shape of raging: two-syllable, vowel coloured by the high /ษช/, ending that hums to a nasal close. It's the word a verse reaches for when it wants heat. From the rhyme-data side: only a handful of strict perfect rhymes survive, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. From the lyric side, it works as a word that pushes a verse toward climax. The slant pool is huge enough that you'll never need to repeat a rhyme.

Why raging rhymes the way it does
Raging is built around the short /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's two-syllable and trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 164, assonance 5,898, and consonance 37. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Raging is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
