First verse deals with them coming through the hard times (storm) and when they emerge they are a little "broken" emotionally / mentally (barren and cold kingdom). Nonetheless though they now are in control of their own life (rule my empire).
The chorus focuses on them needing to look within themselves because they know they have the strength to live their life.
The second verse focuses again on overcoming struggles and boundaries in their life, to stay on track and reminds themselves to keep looking within themselves for the strength to conquer all.
I take it as a metaphor for life.
