About the song
It's Christmas. So it's a Christmas carol. It's "O Come O Come Emmanuel" sung in Latin. Tony is doing the vocals (though I make an appearance on the last gaudes).

I really have no idea what genre you'd call this.
Lyrics
1.
Veni veni, Emmanuel
Captivum solve Israel,
Qui gemit in exsilio,
Privatus Dei Filio.

Refrain:
Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,
Nascetur pro te Israel!

2.
Veni, O Iesse virgula,
Ex hostis tuos ungula,
De spectu tuos tartari
Educ et antro barathri.

Refrain:


3.
Veni, veni O Oriens,
Solare nos adveniens,
Noctis depelle nebulas,
Dirasque mortis tenebras.

Refrain:

4.
Veni, Clavis Davidica,
Regna reclude caelica,
Fac iter tutum superum,
Et claude vias inferum.

Refrain:

5.
Veni, veni, Adonai,
Qui populo in Sinai
Legem dedisti vertice
In maiestate gloriae.

Refrain:
