Words that rhyme with Truce
From a sound-design view, truce is a quotidian anchor on the deep /uห/, one-syllable, and it trails off into a fricative. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Its job in a lyric is a quotidian anchor, holding down whatever line it lands in. When a songwriter asks what rhymes with truce, the pool tells a specific story: the strict-rhyme well runs deep, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. Build the chorus from the strict list; the slants are saved for the bridge.

Why truce rhymes the way it does
Truce is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the rounded /uห/, then it spills into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 122 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 151, assonance 3,572, and consonance 469. 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. 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. Truce rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
