Words that rhyme with Redemption
Treated as a thinking-word, redemption is also a three-syllable sound-shape on the mid /ษ/ โ one that lets the line ring through a nasal. Pair it with something tactile and the line lifts.

Its lyric role is a hue-anchor. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why redemption rhymes the way it does
Redemption is built around the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's three-syllable and hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 3 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 44, assonance 11,594, and consonance 5. 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. Redemption works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
