Why vengeful rhymes the way it does
Vengeful is built around the central /ส/ (/ส/); it's three-syllable and flows into the next line via a liquid.

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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With vengeful, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
