And there is the Angry Eye Ball in the sky. You can't even look at it.

Extremely eldritch.

Gives life, blinds you by looking at it, tears your skin apart on a molecular level, unaware of our existence....

It is weird to think what people must have made of the sun back then, or even just a few centuries back. Before they even understood the concept of space, and instead just knew of the 'above us'. And like you said, angry eye ball. Just some large bright white hole in the sky that hurts to look at. Imagining a kind of Sauron figure makes total sense :/
