The flight crew of a small transport aircraft reported a runway excursion during landing after an un-stabilized approach with windshear conditions. When the crew exited the aircraft; they noted that the runway was covered in glazed ice.

Narrative:
Enroute to ZZZ we got weather from the ATIS and requested the ILS xx with [ATC]. As we came down the approach we encountered turbulence and wind shear. Airspeed indications were rapidly changing by 10 to 15 knots. Nearing da; I did not feel we could make a stabilized landing and called for a 'go around' which I performed and the go around checklist was completed. We requested vectors back for another ILS to runway xx. Due to the wind shear we had encountered; we agreed to increase the ref speed by 5 knots. On the second approach we again had very rough air but remained stable. I brought the power to idle at the runway threshold. We touched down approximately 1500-2000 feet down the runway. During or just prior to touchdown the first officer (first officer) called go around. I made the decision that with the wind shear and turbulence we were experiencing and our proximity to the ground that it would be safer to land. At touchdown I applied maximum brakes and deployed airbrakes. I could hear the antiskid cycling. The aircraft departed the far end of the runway into the engineered materials arresting system (emas). I did the shutdown and the first officer opened the door for egress. While walking the runway immediately after the event I noticed that it was incredibly slick with a glazed ice. Ground crew told me that it was warmer and had rained during the evening and that temperatures then dropped; freezing the water on the runway.
