Words that rhyme with Tyranny
For the rhyme search, what matters about tyranny is this: three-syllable, vowel on the short /ɪ/, ending that ends on an unbuttoned vowel. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. If you're searching for rhymes for tyranny, the shape of the pool is unusual: the perfect column comes up empty, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, while the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use. Its lyric role is a quotidian anchor. Reach for the assonance list whenever the strict pool starts repeating itself.

Why tyranny rhymes the way it does
Tyranny sits on the short /ɪ/, transcribed /ɪ/ in our engine, and opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 137, assonance 11,383, and consonance 86. 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. Tyranny works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
